What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
Scheme flexibility, my nose for the ball, my ability to lead defenses, and ability to help lead a team.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
One thing NFL teams should know is that I love to turn every opportunity into a learning opportunity.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
I’d focus on poverty and community development. I believe stable homes, education, and mentorship change generations, not just individuals.
Who was your role model?
Jesus Christ
Who is your favorite NFL team?
I’ve honestly never really had one so I would have to say, any team willing to bet on me!
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Taye Brown
What is your biggest pet peeve?
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people aren’t mindful of time commitments. I really value punctuality because I think it shows respect and accountability.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
Chris Melson (my high school HC) or Josh Bringuel (my LB coach at Arizona)
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
I’ve been blessed in a lot of ways, so I don’t take that lightly. But one of the hardest things for me was knowing I had the ability to play at a high level and not always having the external validation or support early on. That period forced me to rely on my own belief and work ethic. I learned that confidence can’t come from other people…it has to come from within. That experience built my independence, discipline, and mental toughness.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
Chick-Fil-A
