What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
I’m coachable, durable, and take pride in mastering the technical side of offensive line play. I’ve consistently improved every year at any position I’m told to play
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I’ve never needed a reminder to show up or give effort. Whether it’s a lift, film session, or team meeting, I’m present, on time, and fully engaged.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
I think jumpstart or kid sport is really helpful in a lot of communities for kids who can’t afford to play sports
Who was your role model?
Coach Dan Dorazio. His commitment, attention to detail, and passion for the game was nothing short of infectious
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Denver Broncos. I started following football in the 2010’s and the Broncos were hard to overlook
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Taaj Jhooty plays on the DL for us and I think he has a lot of potential to be great
What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people show up late
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
I would say it’s a tie between my high school math and english teachers Mr. Bendall and Mr. Jaswal, both of them went out their way to help me get to university
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
My transition into high school was made pretty complicated due to some family issues, I had to move a 2 hour bus ride away from my school, and had to live on a farm which was a new environment for me. However I believe making the choice to stay in the high school that offered football, doing work on the farm, and working other jobs made me a better man and without it I don’t know where I would be today
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
A&W
What is your favorite snack food?
Salted salami by Freybe
What is your degree in?
Kinesiology
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
I would pick Larry Allen to see how he could flip the switch so well and be so dominant on the line. Nick Saben would have a lot of insight on how to build standards for a team and what leadership really looks like, and Gord Downie I think would have a lot to say and is a Canadian icon
What is your biggest weakness?
I am very critical of myself
