“My knowledge of the defense... just being able to play in the fire, just being able to play faster.”

“He calls me everyday after practice and tells me what I need to keep improving on.”

“He’s been a really big influence on me and my football game.”

“My brothers are pretty big boys, but it’s really good learning from an offensive guy.”

“It was either football or basketball. Ever since I was young I’ve had a football in my hands, and me and my brothers have been playing in the backyard.”

“Me and Payton are really close. He teaches me a lot of the smaller details.”

“Payton has been really big this year helping me as I’ve started to come into this role... just learning the scheme, calming down, and playing ball.”

“I love coach GIbson. He’s my type of guy.  He makes it easy to learn.”

“How he approaches me when he coaches me and tries to teach me things is how I like to be approached, and it helps a lot.”

“BA can run the ball very well, so going against guys like that in practice definitely helps... working on contain.”

“Those guys have been here and have really taken me under their wing. I’m very grateful for that.”

“Without those guys I wouldn’t be able to jump in this role as quick.”

“We’ve prepared the same way every week... that’s our goal every week, shut teams out.”

“We don’t expect anything less.”
