“It’s been going good. Going against the defense all fall camp hasn’t been easy because it’s one of the best defenses in the country.”

“Going against UConn, it’s different, but it’s a relief to be able to play a different defense.”

“They are special for sure. I want to shout out Davin Vann; I feel like he’s one of the best d-linemen in the country. He brings it everyday.  The bag of moves he has, everything he does, his motor... special guy for sure.”

“It’s been a journey for sure. You definitely have to stay patient and rely on faith.”

“Getting those reps, going from second team to first team, it’s a different speed of the game.  Making sure you’re staying on par with the one’s is really important.”

“It’s crazy, coming here at sixteen and I’m now 21... I feel like I’ve grown a lot, I’m mature, and I feel like I’m in a leadership position where I can help guys.”

“Adjusting to coach Anae’s tempo; it’s much more uptempo than last year and I think it will be a strength for us this year.”

“I love Garrison, I love Tujague, but at the end of the day Tujague brings it everyday.  He comes in the room and lights it up. He brings so much energy, juice. He loves the game.”

“I graduated with a Business degree and I’m going to get my Master’s in December.”
