What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?

Perfect size for an NFL long snapper, as well as my skill and overall consistency. I can fit in any environment and excel. For example, I’ve been at a low funded HBCU for the last 4 years with less resources than my own high school. I have done nothing but establish good relationships with my teammates and coaches, along with excelling on the field.

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

My father served in the military and my mother grew up in South Georgia, so I’ve been raised to have respect for others no matter their circumstance. Whether it be the owner of the team or a ball boy, I won’t treat them any differently.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

It would be the Autism Foundation Partnership. My little brother is autistic and I understand how much harder it is for families who lack the resources to provide proper care for their child. 

Who was your role model?

It would have to be my father. Time and time again he has shown me what it looks like to sacrifice for the betterment of your family. He taught me not only to be mentally strong but overall how to be a man. If it wasn’t for my father I wouldn’t be in the position I am today.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The New York Giants, pretty rough times right now. At least you know I’m loyal!

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Stemarion Edwards. Not only is he a great player on the field, but he is a great person off the field. If you had a conversation with him you’d never even think that he’s struggled in his life the way that he has.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is when you stop your car to let someone cross the street and they don’t wave or acknowledge your act of kindness.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Melissa Talley, she was my marketing teacher at Turner Ashby High School. She got me into DECA, which is a business club where you compete with mock business meetings, and helped me and my partner qualify for nationals. To this day I still use her lessons and knowledge of the business field to help with my classes.

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?

I come from a small town outside of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Almost everyone there is white and it’s a real peaceful place. My only Division 1 offer was from Alcorn State University. I moved 13 hours away from home, to a place where I was being discriminated against everyday just because I was a white boy. I felt like I was less respected just because of who I was and where I came from. I had my moments when it came to adjusting, but I pushed through adversity. Within 2 years I became 1st Team All-Conference, an FCS-All American, and a HBCU-All American. I now understand the culture of the school and would feel comfortable being dropped off anywhere in the country. I feel I could find common ground with anyone now.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?

Chipotle

What is your favorite snack food?

Extra blasted gold fish without a doubt.

What is your degree in?

Business Administration 

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Jesus: Having a conversation with Jesus would be amazing. He’s impacted billions of lives and would bring wisdom, compassion, and deeper insight into my life. I’d ask him about his perspective on life today and how I could live to glorify him and his father in the best way fitting.

My Fiancé Kambry: There hasn’t been a day since I met her that I haven’t fallen more in love with her. I enjoy every second that I get with her. She’s the most kind hearted and straight minded person I’ve came across in my life. I know I could pick anyone, but she just means that much to me.

Pat McAfee: Pat would just be a great time full of laughs. We both come from similar backgrounds and pursued the life of a specialist. We have pretty similar personalities and definitely know how to have a good time. Most importantly I’d ask advice on how to maintain greatness at my position because I know he’s seen it in the league. 

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is that I am less successful in a negative work environment. If I have great people around me I tend to do great things. However, when I have bad people around me I tend to plateau.
