Has your size changed at all?
I'm about 6'2" 175 pounds now.

What does your workout routine entail?
I go to a place called Total Training with Bob Blanton. He gives me a workout based on the Tech workout. He has stuff in there from it.

When do you plan on reporting to Virginia Tech?
I believe I'm going July 1.

What do you plan on working or improving on through this summer?
Right now, I'm just trying to put on the weight so I can get to where I need to be. Then, I work on speed and all that. I'll work on that in the summer.

How would you describe your playing style?
I guess you could say I'm underestimated. I'm faster than I look. I look kinda long and slow but I'm pretty lanky and I can get the ball and make plays.

What are some of your goals for your freshman season at Virginia Tech?
Mainly, I just wanna work on my tackling, form tackling. I wanna get all that squared away.

What player or team are you most looking forward to going up against?
I don't know, I don't really have one. I just wanna get playing and get started.

What's your favorite food?
I'm gonna go with lasagna.

What is your favorite movie?
Fast Five, Fast and Furious.

Who is your favorite musician?
I'd go with Tyga.

What would be three words to describe you?
Humble, athletic and funny.

If you could date any celebrity, who would it be?
That's a good question. I'll go with Meagan Goode.

If you could pick a fight with any celebrity, who would it be?
I'd go with Mike Tyson, just cuz. I wanna see what he's made of, see if he lives up to it. See if he's really Iron Mike.

What's been your most memorable experience playing football?
I guess I can say two-a-days and when we went through conditioning, you feel like you're gonna die or pass out. You get real dizzy, but you know it's making you better, so it's not that bad.
