Who are some role models in your life?
My parents, first and always. They’ve sacrificed a lot for me to chase my dreams.

What artists do you listen to pregame to get you hyped up?
L5 and Lil Dre60. Their energy hits different and gets me in the zone before every game.

What are the strengths of your game?
My power off the line and my hands.

What is your favorite memory of your career?
Going to State, playing at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and getting a ring my freshman year! That whole experience—under the lights, in the stadium—was so much fun!

Who is the best player you have ever played with or played against in your career?
I can list quite a few, but if we’re keeping it to just one, I’m going with someone on defense—Tristan Givens. He’s great at pass rushing and has amazing speed.

What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
Stay consistent and stay humble. A lot of people have talent, but not everyone works when nobody’s watching. And keep your circle tight—distractions can ruin opportunity.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Tokyo.

Around 6 or 7. Once I put pads on and made that first big hit, I knew this was what I wanted. I’ve been chasing greatness ever since.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
Myles Garrett. I like how he dominates with both power and technique. I’d want to pick his brain about how he prepares—physically and mentally—and what it takes to stay at that elite level year after year.

What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
Watching Mykel Williams play in the National Championship for Georgia was unforgettable. I was proud of him. It’s always good to see people you know and from where you’re from on that stage! It makes you want to go even harder and chase that same level of success.
