- What would you say is a talent that you have outside of football? i.e. playing a musical instrument, singing, juggling, etc..
- “Playing the Drum’s.”
- What is the most embarrassing thing that you can think of that has ever happened to you?
- “I was playing AAU Basketball when I was 13 years old and I went up for a rebound, and this other guy who was defending me went up also and when we came down, his shoe caught my shorts and pulled them down. It was pretty embarrassing, but I just pulled them back up and kept on playing.”
- What color uniform makes you feel like you are going to go out and catch 10 plus catches for 150 yards and 3 TD’s? red uniforms or white uniforms?
- “Any color. Doesn’t matter to me.”
- Since the time you’ve been at UWA, what UWA defensive player has ever caused you to start hearing footsteps when going across the middle?
- “This is a tough one, but probably former UWA LB great, Terry Samuels.”
- What would you say you enjoy doing the most in Livingston, AL in your off time?
- “Brotherhood. Spending time with my teammates. Going to the Gym to shoot basketball, BBQ, just hanging out with my teammates.”
- Any special or superstitious thing you do before a game?
- “I do two things every Saturday on game day. I wake up Saturday morning and I have to listen to ‘Return of the Mack’ by Mark Morrison. I then have this thing in the locker room wear I tie my cleats, I then untie them, and then I tie them again.”
- How would you say you feel physically from last year’s injury? Do you have any personal statistical goals do you have for this upcoming season?

- “Dr. Hutch’s Sports Management class. He makes it very enjoyable.”
- I see you played some QB in High School and in one game threw for 521 yards, is that correct? If you were called to play QB at UWA during a game, you think you would be ready to do that if Coach G and Coach Bailey called on you? Which position would scare the heck out of you if you were called to play it in a game that is say 4th and goal on the 1, down by 5 with 10 seconds left?
- “Yes, that is correct.”
- “Yes, I’d be ready.”
- “Playing Center.”
- Where do you live at? On campus housing or an apartment? Any Roommates?
- “Apartments. Yes, and it’s very man for himself on cooking.”
- You’re not only a great pass catcher, but a great blocker and runner as well. Do you consider yourself a Pass catching TE, a blocking TE, or both?
- “I feel good at all of it. I’m sure I could work on improvement, but I just get into a Tempo after each play.”
- Final question, what do you see if the biggest thing you need to work on to get better at in order to help UWA go undefeated and play for a National Championship this year?
- “Holding each other accountable, players to players.”
