What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2027 NFL Draft?
One thing that makes me a top prospect at my position is my versatility and athleticism especially with my measurables. As well as my work ethic. Giving 100% into whatever the goal is.
Tell me about a time you faced adversity and how you responded?
Back during week 4 in the 2024 season I tore my ACL in game. After the news I was crushed and new that I had a choice to make. Attack rehab and make it back as soon as I could to be back on the field competing or hang the cleats up and give up on a dream I have been chasing since I was a kid. So the day after the injury I was texting our amazing phyiso staff to figure out my plan of attack. Ended up loosing about 85lbs in the process and being cleared for contact and returning to sport in 10.5 months.
What are your hobbies outside of football?
Outside of football I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I also always love a good camping trip!
What role do you see yourself playing at the next level?
At the next level I see my selfish being someone who can play all 5 positions if asked. As well as a lead by example guy on and off the field.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
One cause in the world I would donate to would be kids sport. Sports have been a huge part in my life and believe that every child should be able to play organized sport.
How do you handle coaching, especially criticism or being corrected repeatedly?
One nice thing about western is that our coaches are focused on the details. All the little things matter like hand placement and aiming points. By being in an environment that criticizes each and every detail because they want the best for their players. Has allowed me to experience criticism and correction from coaches. Overall understanding not necessarily how it is being said but what is being said is a big thing that I have learned over my years of being coached.
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
The most under rated teammate on my team is Luca Farinaccio. Luca has battled though lots of little issues along the way but seeing the work that he puts in it will definitely show on the field in the fall.
If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would it be and why did you choose them?
- Taylor Lewan- he has done such a good job at creating a positive image of himself while creating an identity outside of just football.
- Roman Atwood- another influencer who shares positive messages and has the ability to touch a wide range of people in the world.
- Adam Sandler- I just loved watching his movies growing up and has always been one of my favourite actors.
If you were benched tomorrow, what would be the most likely reason?
I would probably say it is my tendency to talk smack to my friends at practice and how that could turn into a distraction.
Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?
Typically on game day I’ll eat breakfast head to the stadium at least 3 hours early. Then I’ll go talk to our training staff and teammates until the o line is ready for the lap that we walk together. I’ll then get taped and go do my own warm up on the field to get loose with some music on. After that it’s pretty much just strap up and get out there.
What is your favorite snack food?
My favourite snack food is Reece’s peanut butter cups
What scheme do you feel you fit the best in?
I would say that with competitiveness and experience I would say a zone run offence. But I also have the ability to pass block with my long limbs.
What is your degree in?
My degree is in childhood and youth studies and Psychology
What would be the first thing you buy with your first NFL check?
I would probably buy some property back home in British Columbia.
Describe a time in a game where you feel you made a mistake, and explain how you bounced back?
In our last game against Guelph there was a moment in the game where I knew I wasn’t playing my best football and we kept coming off to the side line after a couple unsuccessful drives and as a group we looked at each other and for me I thought about all the things bigger than the game it self like the fact that that would be some of my teammates last few snaps in their lives. I felt in the moment a boost of energy and confidence. Which gave me the boost I needed to bounce back and I felt like I played better after that.

- Streetlight -Sam Barber
- Secondhand – Don Toliver
