What is your biggest pet peeve? 

People that don’t listen 

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

In high school I had a close friend named tyshaud . He went down the wrong path because his mind wasn’t too focused on school and he wasn’t eligible to play football that year. He eventually was killed  during my 11th grade year in High School, and I blamed myself because I felt I should’ve been on his case more about his decisions and class work. I always asked myself if he played football would that have saved him?

Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?

My school is very isolated and it helps you focus on what you need to get done.

Skittles and chips

Running and making new friends turned into life long brothers

If you could sell yourself in one sentence what would you say? 

I’ve proved people wrong twice and I’ll do it again

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be? 

I compare myself to chad Ochocinco , his body control , catching ability, and always finds a way to get open.

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why? 

Kobe Bryant , Kanye West , Malcolm x.

I always wanted to pick these 3 people’s brains…no matter the advertising and criticism that surrounds them, they always found a way to make ends meet with their vision. They started off not liked or overlooked and then became the top of their craft. The creativity by Kanye , the effort and hard work by Kobe , the will power of Malcolm X…the mentality of all.
