On his decision to stay three years…

"My answer to that is the camaraderie and the connection that we have here at the University of Georgia. I think it's unmatched to other places. Obviously, I can't compare because I haven't been anywhere else. But from things that I've heard from people who have been other places, the connection here is something that we strive to have, and I think that's one of the biggest things that kept me here all these years."

On the key to developing without in-game reps…

"Without getting a lot of reps, the biggest thing comes to the mental side. As hard as it was and as hard as it can be to be the backup and still prepare like you're the starter like you're going to go out there, it's something that I tried to do week in and week out, not matter the opponent. My mental is already kind of set, so I know what that looks like to prepare as a starter even though I haven't obviously started yet."

On watching Stetson Bennett the last three seasons…

"I think the biggest takeaway from him - he got it the worst at quarterback. I think a lot of people really hated on him a lot, and you can see that all over the Internet. He just maintained and kept his head down and kept going. I'd say that's the biggest thing that I learned from him is that you just have to do you. You have to be you, and honestly it doesn't really matter about the noise that's going on around you as long as you control your actions and your effort toward the game."

On the realization of being the starter…

"Obviously, this whole entire year I've been working for it and grinding for it. I kind of expected that for myself, but to actually hear it go live, it meant a lot to me. It's something to see all the hard work pay off, kind of like I've been saying this whole time. Sometimes it's hard to be patient in a world where everything is so immediate with social media and the Internet and everybody wants stuff now. Just seeing that patience pay off really hit home with me."

On if his injury has held him back in any way…

"I wouldn't say it held me back, but I would say it slowed me down. Since I've been progressing back, I feel like I'm getting right back into the flow of things."

On the biggest transition from high school to college…

"I would say transitioning to the atmosphere. Like my first game, the atmosphere was like 'wow.' It was all these people; it was so loud, and I was kind of nervous a little bit. As I got used to playing in those type of games, I kind of relaxed and calmed down."

On the linebacker group and Jamon Dumas-Johnson’s leadership…

"Playing with Pop [Jamon Dumas-Johnson] is great because he's vocal, he's live, he's going to tell you where to be and what the play is, make sure you get the call, get lined up, and he's enthusiastic. He brings the energy every day. I love playing with Jamon. When we run our calls, if I have to do a certain job on this call for him to get free, I'm going to do it to the best of my ability."

On where he has grown most since being a freshman…

"I really feel like I've grown the most in my anticipation of plays. The way Coach Scott? teaches us and develops us, you kind of know what is going on before the ball is snapped. Now with me being out and I've been sitting and watching, and meeting with different people, I can hear a call that the O-line is making. I know which way they are moving. It's like the anticipation in my game has gotten a lot better."

On what attracted him to Georgia…

"I felt that Georgia had a strong connection as soon as I entered the portal. When I came down here and they showed me around their facility, the nutrition, the academics, it was everything that I was looking for in a program. The standard of how they develop young men and send them to the league that has been at a very high level. Coach Smart and the coaching staff, everything was what I wanted. The transition has been great, exciting actually. New people to meet, new friends and new brothers to be around was the main part. As far as my growth in the weight room and on the field, everything has gotten better. I am just stacking days, day-in and day-out."

On the talent of the offense…

"Whoever is out there, we have the upmost confidence in them to get the job done. Our offense is really based on toughness and consistency. We have multiple weapons we can hit you with from an offense and a defense standpoint. It is pick your poison. We have everything the offense would need and want."

On his role in the offense…

"I am another weapon added to an offense that already had plenty of weapons. Which is why I can go back and say that they welcome you with open arms. They did it two years and I wasn't here. I was just another weapon that they added. I can add another brother and another teammate all pushing in the same direction. I don't really focus on one individual goal. It is a team sport. Without the other 10 guys on the field, I couldn't do what I do. Without the defense, we couldn't do what the offense is going and vice versa. I don't really look at it as an individual. As a team, I want to take it game by game, practice by practice, keep pushing and keep striving."
