“It’s been great. This offense is an Air Raid offense and brings new challenges.”
“I feel we’re clicking on a lot of cylinders.”
“This is a huge opportunity for me. Sitting behind Thayer was a great learning experience. I got to learn from a good receiver who’s going to do great at the next level.”
“I’m really looking forward to the season.”
“It’s more than football here to me. It’s a home away from home. This locker room is something you won’t find anywhere. It was a no-brainer for me [to not transfer] especially with the role I could be stepping in to.”
“It’s extremely exciting. I was just as excited my freshman year as I am now.”
“Really bringing more of a presence, blocking... being available for the quarterback.”
“I needed to get better in some areas... just becoming an overall receiver.”
“Just wait and find out... we have a dynamic group... all of us can run. We’re a young group that can really go. We have some wheels.”
“Obviously Brendan won a lot of games at UVA and both MJ and Ben won some games for us last yaer. They all can get the job done. It’s a healthy competition.”
“Coach Anae, that’s my guy. He’s real intense and blunt on how he wants things to work.”
“This is a great system, obviously, for a receiver... Air Raid offense.”
“The bond goes way deeper than football... I wish nothing but the best for those boys.”
