What makes you the best prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?

One of the reasons I feel like I’m one of the top prospects in the 2025 draft class is my versatility, being able to handle quickly off the edge and inside. My range on the field is able to cover the ground from hash to hash with my size and range and most importantly my physicality with being able to play Free Safety and Strong Safety and also Will Backer in some packages and being able to cover slot receivers.

What’s one thing NFL teams should know about you?

One thing NFL teams need to know about me is my hard work, determination and leadership. No matter what it looks like, I never back down from a challenge and one of the things I’m most proud of is leading by example just by being where I need to be and doing the right things on and off the field. Also, my passion for the game is something that makes me who I am every day.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

If I could donate to one cause, it would be St. Jude. To help children who are currently in the hospital and to create more awareness about cancer and the research that is being done.

Who was your role model?

My role model is my grandfather Clement Fleming, he was a coach for over 30 years and is just a family man and someone I look up to. And that’s just my guy. I would do anything for him.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

The most underrated teammate on my team is Kamar Kyle. He plays Defensive End, has high motor skills, is a great leader and is just a beast on the field. He has passion and love for the game, just like me.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

What annoys me the most are people who say they are bought into something but don’t do the things that require them to be where they need to be and what they need to do.

Who is your favorite teacher?

My favorite teacher of all time is Coach Williams. He was a former athlete and coach who is a great mentor and taught me many life lessons about life, athletics and coaching that helped me become a better person.

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

The hardest time I had to overcome was losing my aunt during my senior year of high school. I have never experienced such a loss from someone so close to me. She was my second mom and we just had that bond and that’s something I play in the back of my mind every time I step on the field in honor of her.

If you could have a franchise restaurant in your home, what would it be?

If I could have a franchise restaurant in my house, it would probably be Chick-fil-A. You can’t beat it because they offer breakfast, lunch and dinner and I wouldn’t have to go anywhere.

What is your favorite breakfast?

My favorite snack is Cheez-Its and probably trail mix.

What is your degree?

My degree is in Wellness and Sports Science and I am graduating this December.

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

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be John Cena, Denzel Washington and Shawn Taylor. These three people are basically what I’ve watched and followed, so they’re my heroes.

What is your greatest weakness?

My biggest weakness is sometimes saying no to helping people because I get overwhelmed with what I have on my plate and taking on more responsibility while I’m working on something else is something I have trouble with. but i am slowly working on it.
