What do you want to do after you graduate and why?
First option would be to play in the NBA but if that doesn't work out then a sports agent.
Why did you choose Michigan State?
I chose Michigan State because of the team and the coaching staff. I feel like I had a connection with everyone and from the start we built a great relationship.
What would you tell someone who is coming to Michigan State to play basketball?
Work hard. We have a great group of guys that work hard every single day. We put our bodies on the line every day at practice and in the weight room.
If you could play another position, what would you play and why?
Probably a wing. I feel like I can get downhill and get some dunks.
Favorite form of social media?
Instagram. I just like to look on there.
Who is your favorite person to follow?
The group AMP because I watch all of their YouTube videos and I love them.
If you could have dinner with any 3 people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?
Michael Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and Barack Obama
Favorite sport to follow at Michigan State other than yours?
Hockey. I have heard a lot about our hockey team, you know how good they were last year. I really want to go to a hockey game this year.
What song is on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the court?
If it is a morning game, any type of R&B. If it is a late game, I'm probably listening to more rap music, something more energetic.
What is your dream vacation?
Fiji.
What's the best thing about getting to play Big Ten basketball?
The conference games. I feel like the Big Ten is probably the best conference in America. I'm looking forward to playing home games, away games, and just the energy.
What's the best way to describe Coach Izzo?
Genuine.
One word to describe a Michigan State basketball player?
Gritty.
Who would play you in a movie?
Michael Rainey Jr.
Tell us one thing people don't know about you?
I was one of the top goalkeepers in Colorado. When I was younger, I got invited to train in Spain.
