Has your size changed at all?
I got a little taller. I'm at least 5-10 and 180 pounds probably still.

What does your workout routine entail?
I bench, power clean, dips and abs. The one thing I do is sprints. I sprint with a parachute and with the sled too. That's an everyday thing.

When do you plan on reporting to WKU?
June 6

What do you plan on working or improving on through this summer?
I can always improve on my pass-blocking.

How would you describe your playing style?
Elusive. I can make a small play into a big play. I can always break the long runs. And I'm physical.

What are some of your goals for your freshman season at WKU?
I wanna help the team win the Sun Belt. If I work hard enough, I can get some playing time. I haven't really set any goals for myself right now because it's all about the team. I can have those later down the road.

What is your favorite food?
Hot dogs and fries

What is your favorite movie?
It'd have to be The Express, with Ernie Davis up in it.

Who is your favorite musician?
I like all kinds of music. I'd have to say Drake.

What would be three words to describe you?
Elusive, hard-working and a team player

If you could date any celebrity, who would it be?
Oooh, Meagan Good.

If you could pick a fight with any celebrity, who would it be?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I'd say Stone Cold. He's always bragging and being on people.

What's been your most memorable experience playing football?
I'd say my start at quarterback. I just ran over 200 yards and had five scores. All our points were me. It was kinda hard though. It was the hardest game I probably ever played.
