Are you single? (if yes) Why? 
Yes. Um, I don’t know just because with my passion for football and school, it’s kind of hard, it’s hard to invest in something serious. I’d like to focus all my time and effort towards graduating and being the best that I can be. I’d like to put my all into it.

What do you look for in a woman? 
You know, I was raised in the church so I look for a woman whose heart is so close to God that I have to go through God to get to her. [She has to have] beauty, intelligence, ambition, drive [and be] virtuous. I want a woman of virtue. She’s got to have a sense of humor too.

What do you like best about Howard University? 
I guess you could say the legacy and tradition pretty much; the networking and opportunities to meet people from all walks of life.You can go anywhere and everyone knows about Howard University.
 
What are you passionate about?
God, family, and football. My walk with Christ My family which is first, and football which is pretty much my life.
 
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
In ten years, I see myself as a NFL football player, a successful, thriving black male. Hopefully, I’ll be married with kids living a comfortable life – a good life. No complaints, providing for my family. Taking care of my mom, my pops, and my sisters.
 
What is your life’s ambition? 
I would say, to be an inspiration., not only to my teammates and those who know me, but also to people who read my story and meet me for the first time; that I give off a glow of positivity.   Let them know that it’s not me. It’s God working through me.
 
What do you like to do in your free time?
I write poetry, I love listening to music. Music charms the soul. I like reading just to gain enlightenment. I like working out and training iswhat I love doing. If I’m at home, I like hunting and fishing, and stargazing.
 
You’re very busy with classes, football, and extracurricular activities. Where do you go for quiet time and solitude?
My room, or I go and sit out on the bleachers in Greene stadium with my teammates just listening to music.
 
Often, when you make a presence, the girls go wild. Why is this? What is it about you?
I haven’t noticed that. I’m not sure. It’s my confidence or maybe my status on campus. I’m captain of the football team, a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc….but, I’d have to say my confidence.
 
What are your plans after graduation?
 After graduation, if I’m not on a NFL roster, I’d like to go back to school to get a degree in nutrition. I’d like to be a nutritionist and a personal trainer just to inform people more about personal health.
 
What do you think makes you attractive? Why are you a campus cutie?
I don’t know maybe you can tell me.
 
Okay, let me rephrase the question. Physically, what do you like most about yourself? 
Everything.  I’m tall, athletic, and muscular with 5% body fat.
