Who are some role models in your life?
Definitely my parents. They’ve worked so hard to get me where I need to go and have shaped me into the person I am today. I wouldn’t be where I am without them.

What artists do you listen to pregame, to get you hyped up?
Before games, I like to lock in with 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Lil Loaded, Lil Yachty, Gunna, Big Yavo, Bossman Dlow, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, and Double 007. It gets my energy right.

What are the strengths of your game?
One of my biggest strengths is being able to read defensive fronts in pass protection. I take pride in my technique and focus on getting my hands on defenders fast. Quick feet, quick hands—that’s my mindset.

Who is the best player you’ve ever played with or against?
The best player I’ve played with is my QB, Kane Archer. His skill set and work ethic are different—he’s a dog for real. As for the best I’ve played against, it would be Walker White. I didn’t go head-to-head with him, but seeing his game up close, he’s definitely elite.

What advice would you give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
Put in the work when nobody’s watching. That’s when you really improve. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else—lock in on your own journey and your craft. Consistency and focus are everything.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I’d go to the Bahamas. It looks beautiful and peaceful—somewhere to just relax and enjoy the moment.

How old were you when you fell in love with the game?
I fell in love with football back in fifth grade. From that point on, I knew it was what I wanted to do.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
Tim Tebow. His relationship with God is something I strive to model in my own life every day. He’s a leader on and off the field, and a true Christian athlete.

What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
Watching Jason Kelce go head-to-head with Aaron Donald.
