On if he did any rugby-style kicking in high school…

“That skill, I guess the traditional punting as we call it, is something we learned in Prokick. That’s what we actually learn to do and convert to when joining the program. The rugby skill is a bit of the one we acquire by playing Australian rules football. So, when we join the program, they teach us to try and throw all those habits out and teach us how to punt traditionally, but it’s an acquired skill that we’ve been kind of doing for 15 years, so you can always pull it out. When you get here, it depends on the team you play for, so some guys like Jackson Russ as Tennessee are doing kind of both. He can roll and do a kind of traditional style punt or an end-over-end as we call it, call it like a drop punt, and mix it, or someone like Flynn Appleby who kicks pretty much as end-over-ends, so it depends on the team you go to. And that also goes into the recruiting of when they go to Prokick the side says, ‘What do you have that fits this type of punter, and then they put their best guys out.’”

On where he has improved the most since coming to Georgia…

“I think just feeling comfortable. Obviously when we come over here, I’d never been behind a line of scrimmage with protectors. We replicate it in Prokick, but you can’t replicate six foot five, 300-pound O-lineman protecting and moving, and then also guarding guys sprinting full speed at you, so I’d say just getting comfortable behind there and knowing where and how to make myself feel comfortable, so that involves no necessarily just trying to kick a good ball, but it also involves the placement. What I need to do to get that ball where it needs to go.”

On his recruitment experience with Prokick…

“When you join the program, you kind of just commit to going to America. You have no idea where you’re going to go, so I joined the program just hoping to come to America on a scholarship, and I trained for roughly about six to eight months. It was a bit broken up with Covid. Until Coach Hartley got in contact with the Prokick coaches, and they linked us together. I talked to him about once a week for roughly a month and a half, and then they said, ‘Yeah, the spot’s yours.’ I then kept training until about it was time to come her in January 2022 and kept talking to Coach Hartley and building that relationship. It was mainly him that I talked to and a little bit with Coach Smart here and there.”

On how Georgia prepares you to stay physical late in the game...

"That is just something we practice every day. It is something we pride ourselves on here at Georgia, being physical in all phases. So, we just have to focus on the game plan, zero in on everything we've been working on all year and do whatever it takes to win."

On the Kentucky game last year apart from the freezing cold...

"It was so cold; I am just glad it's not going to be that cold this year. Kentucky is always a super physical game. From the moment I got down here, that is all we talked about when we got ready to play Kentucky. Last year was no different as it was very physical and very cold. The thing that pops up about this game the most is the physicality."

On what he has seen from Devin Leary on what he did at NC State and what he has done so far at Kentucky...

"He is a very good quarterback. He is very poised in the pocket, he has a really big arm, and he has some really good targets out there to get the ball to some guys who can extend plays and make big time plays for him."

On what the biggest lesson he learned playing football...

"It taught me how to be consistent. I have to be consistent in my work ethic, be consistent in the way I prepare every day, and how I approach every day. I'd say the game of football has taught me how to be consistent because at this level, you have to come in with a workman's mind set and work every day to get to the point you want to be. Growing up, you can sometimes just do whatever you want and still be the best on the field. But in this league, there are a lot of guys who are just as good as you, so you have to do what it takes to set yourself apart from others."
