“It feels the same, I left high school, came in early.”

“I’m a little older... year two.  I’m a little more developed with my game and my body.”

“I feel way more explosive than my first year.  Coach Thunder does a great job of getting everybody ready, especially me.”

“How to handle adversity was a big part for me last year... handling ups and downs.”

“I’ll be inside a lot this year doing more blocking and stuff like that.”

“He’s an older guy for sure, and he’s been in the game longer than me, but we’re here to compete.  What he’s learned from college can help me out a little bit.”

“It’s how any competition is. Any dog that wants to win is going to win.”

“That was supposed to be the class the first time coming through with Noah, Hollywood, and all those boys.  To see them coming back, we’ve got something really special going on now.”

“I always wanted to play with those boys, and now that I get to play with them it feels special.  We all have been bonded since high school... now that they are back we’re tight as ever again. The bond was never broken. I’m glad those boys came back and realized where home was.”

“Camps can do it, too. I’ve been to camps with most of these players.”
