something for them.
What do you think are your biggest strengths you bring to the team?
I’m a lockdown corner, and I like to play good defense.
Are there any college or NFL players that you take inspiration from?
Jalen Ramsey and Sauce Gardner are two of my favorite DBs to watch, and to see their fearless mentality at the position. I watch a lot of Cincinnati and LSU games to see their DB’s.
What are your thoughts about the team’s play so far this season?
I think that we’ve done good so far, but we just got to lock all the way in, everybody must lock in. I’m trying to be a leader and let the younger guys look up to me.
What is something important a coach has taught you?
Don’t give up. Try to make it out of Jonesboro because not too many people do it. Also, that the streets don’t love you.
What are your plans after graduation?
I want to play college ball somewhere if possible. I don’t have a preference on what school, I just want to be somewhere that I’m wanted. If that doesn’t work, then I want to study business with hopes of starting a clothing brand.
Lastly, what are your goals this season for yourself, and the team?
For the team, I’d like to try to make it to the dome and mainly be better than last year. For
myself, I want 12 picks. I know it’s a lot, but I like setting big goals for myself.
