“I’m real excited. I’ve been waiting about three years to make a difference on offense, get the ball, and show what I can do.”

“I really just trusted the process, doing everything coach D says, stay around the players, keep a good attitude... doing what coach Thunder says.”

“It’s a hectic stadium in Carter-Finley, so being in the stadium helps a lot to calm your nerves.”

“He’s one of my closest friends here. We were roomates when we first got here freshman year. It’s wonderful to have [Jordan Houston] here next to me.”

“Every year I came in with the mindset to be ready to play.”

“Everyone is talking about we had a lot who left in Ricky and Zonovan, but with Jordan, Demi, myself, and Demarcus Jones we are all ready to go on the field and make plays.”

“He’s telling us to be ready at all times. It’s difficult to make a decision right now because we all can make plays and know the system.”

“Being fresh is the best thing possible for us.”

“Demi is very slippery and elusive. He has very good agility. He’s able to jump in the pocket and back out.”

“I have speed and power. I have good agility and I can make people miss.”

“We’re thinking about beating everybody in the ACC, winning the ACC, and possibly going to the national championship. That’s our goal.”
