*ready to be graded*
Thought I'd let the media ask some questions so I can let everyone know about me.
(I'll end the presser in a day in order to get all the questions in to reply to all of them at once, if that's ok)
Responses:
Are there any famous NFL O-lineman who's game you'd like to replicate?
I would really like to try an replicate Joe Thomas. Not just his physicality, but also his durability as well.
Playing o-lineman is considered to be a very boring position in the NSFL, and most people position switch after a little bit. Are you truly committed to being an o-lineman, or will we see Kota potentially as a d-lineman, TE, or other position in the future?
It is possible that I could make a switch in the future but I am coming into this league as an OL and hopefully I can stay that way for as long as possible.
Are there any teams right now who catch your eye in the DSFL? What about the NSFL?
Obviously all of the teams in the championship are pretty interesting to look at. Just being able to see some of the best teams (on both levels) go at it is really fun and I really hope any one of those teams finds me good enough on draft day
How easy/difficult was it for you to create here?
Not too hard, a lot of it was just trying to figure out where to go and what to do.
First opinions on the NSFL community & discord?
Super nice, fun, and friendly
Many critics would question your decision to play offensive line in the NSFL, especially considering that there's currently only one offensive lineman (non bot) in the NSFL. How do you respond to those haters?
To be completely honest I'm very very new to the NSFL. However, I would like to say that even though the OL is not the sexiest or best position to play on the field, it is certainly one of the most important parts of the team. My decision to play OL stems from my father always instilling in me to not be afraid to take the "hit" and to never be afraid to stick up for the little man and just to be yourself. He was always a great inspiration to me so I want to model my game after him. That's why I chose OL, one of the least sexiest positions to play. I want to bring attention to it and be able to bring light as to how great a good player on the line could be. I love being a physical player and I'm willing to protect the QB with all I have. I chose the OL to stick up for the little man because no one really sees it as a viable and valuable option and I really hope to change that.
Any teams, in particular, you like the look of in NSFL (Wraiths, Hawks. Liberty, Yeti, Outlaws, Otters, Second Line & Sabercats) or the DSFL? (Pythons, Marshals, Luchadores, Coyotes)
Obviously the Otters and the Coyotes being championship teams on their respective levels just shows how much time and care they've put in to making quality football teams. Hopefully one day I will be able to be apart of such a great championship team myself.

What one word or phrase do you want people to associate with your name?
Intelligence. You could put a lot of things here - strength, toughness, and agile to name a few - but based on my personal experience: intelligence beats all. You could be the strongest, toughest, most agile person on the field, but if you can't read and react to your opposition, you're dead in the water. Especially on the OL intelligence means everything. Where to step, how to step, when to pull, where do you want your hands, how's the stance, just about everything you want to name can round back to being a smart player. That's how I had so much success in college and high school. I was smart, I know everything that happens on each play; everything I can control. I take the necessary steps, alignment, and adjustments base on what's happening and adjust accordingly when the ball is snapped. Whatever my opponents do I take the best possible options and react accordingly. Being under sized like I am, there's no greater thing than intelligence.
Describe your ideal locker room?
Everyone is together. Not just as a team, but as brothers. Family. Everyone there is there for each other. No one is selfish. We all make sacrifices for the good of the family. We all work hard and compete together and we all have each other's back. No discourse within the locker room. No going behind someone's back. You got a problem with someone, be a man and say it to their face.
What presence do you hope to bring to the OL?
Not the most menacing presence, but one of intimidation. Never knowing what's gonna happen. Intimidation in the form of the fear of the unknown. Who's going where, what am I gonna do, what are they gonna do. You never know why or how, but you know I intimidate you for some reason.[/b]
How do you prepare for an upcoming season?
Keep getting better. I've started going to the gym more and getting my strength up, but just staying prepared, staying focused for what's next. Never know what's going to happen so prepare for the worst and hope for the best, that's what mother taught me.
