“I played in USF and Furman... about 10 snaps in the Furman game.”

“I didn’t think it would be this long, but I’m ready now. The time is here.”

“Our scout team did a good job of helping us with the move calls and we practice with the fan noise on. It forces us to communicate better and get better as a unit.”

“Everybody knows how ECU is as a crowd. The fans are crazy, and our fans on top of that, it’s going to be loud.”

“It’s time. I’ve been waiting for this day since I found out I was starting. I’m just ready to get out there and prove to my teammates I can be that guy they can lean on and trust at that spot.”

“Watching those games Saturday, that’s when I was like, it’s that time.”

“I was in the house all day watching football. I love some football.”

“We’re just ready to get that Saturday feeling back.”
