Who are some role models in your life?
Without a doubt, my parents. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if they weren’t around for me to look up to.
What artists do you listen to pregame, to get you hyped up?
It tends to rotate, but there’s always a mix of Future or Lil Baby in there.
What are the strengths of your game?
I would say my strengths are being an elite route runner with explosive speed. I combine those abilities with my understanding and knowledge of the game to make big plays all over the field.
What is your favorite memory of your career?
My favorite memory is getting my first offer. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the result of countless days and nights of hard work, finally starting to be noticed. It was just such an amazing feeling.
What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
Throughout the process, there will be good days and not-so-good days, but in the end, the amount of work you put in will pay off. Don’t let one bad play or day define you as a player.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Probably Japan. My brother went about a year ago and said it was amazing.
How old were you when you fell in love with the game?
I couldn’t tell you the exact age, but I was definitely pretty young. Growing up, my entire family has been involved with football somehow, so after being around it while I was young, it continued to grow on me more and more, becoming something I can’t live without.
If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
If I could meet one person, it would be Jerry Rice because I’ve always been a 49ers fan, and he’s the best receiver to ever do it.
What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
It’s tough to decide with so many great moments, but some of my favorites are the Minneapolis Miracle, the Patriots coming back to win the Super Bowl against the Falcons, and the one that stands out the most to me is when Chris Davis took the missed field goal back to beat Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
