What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
My deep desire of wanting to be the best version of myself in this life
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
It’s been my dream to play in the NFL since I was 3 years old and my greatest fear is that I don’t make it because I didn’t work how I was supposed to.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
Men’s mental health
Who was your role model?
Kobe Bryant
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Don’t have one
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Cameron-Best-Alston
What is your biggest pet peeve?
People who don’t want to become the best version of themselves.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
So many great teachers. I would feel bad naming just one. Art teacher at Jserra, Spanish 3 teacher at Dartmouth, Writing 2-3 teacher at Dartmouth, Theater for social change teacher at Dartmouth, International Trade teacher at Dartmouth. I might be forgetting some but I’ve been fortunate enough to have some great people as teachers.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
Facts! Hardest thing I had to overcome this far in my life was injury and loss of confidence. But everything happens for a reason and it just pushed me closer to god. If it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
Cava, even though I’ve never officially ordered it. It’s healthy, fresh and quick.
What is your favorite snack food?
Cereal and smoothies.
What is your degree in?
Developmental Economics
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Kobe Bryant, Alexander the great, Socrates. Because I want to dive deeper in their minds and see how they act in person. I want to see if our values are the same and most importantly want to learn how to become a great leader.
What is your biggest weakness?
Biggest weakness is that I am somewhat of a perfectionist. Often times I find it hard to pick something or start on something because I want it to be perfect. Even this question itself I would write something down then erase and do the same thing again because I want the answer to be perfect.
