On evolving as a leader in the defensive back room…

“I’m just really trying to set a good example for everyone in the room, especially the young guys and point them in the right direction. I just want to be there for them.”

On entering the first day of camp...

“I’m just excited to be here. Like every other year, I’m still taking that rookie mindset where you can still learn in every meeting and every walk-through. There’s always room for improvement, and that’s how I’m taking it.”

On choosing to return for another season...

“I’m still here, and I’m thankful to be here. I love this university, and I love this team. Every year’s different. It’s a new opportunity for me, and I’m excited for it. It’s like every other year. I’m hungry, and I saw the opportunity. That’s why I’m here.”

On coming back after missing the Playoff last season...

“This year is a completely different team. We still have the same standards that we’ve had here at Georgia for a long time. We’re not worried about last year. We’re focused on this year, and right now, fall camp.”

On his growth as a player at Georgia…

“Not taking it for granted, for sure. I just got asked about camp a minute ago, and I was like ‘it’s football, this is the fun part of what we do.’ I definitely don’t take football for granted seeing how fast it can be taken away from me, and I think that gave me a chance to mature and kind of just like sticking to the older players hip and learn from them so I think that’s what helped me.”

On the mindset of fall camp and preparing for the season…

“I look forward to it, it’s football, it’s the fun part of what we do. We aren’t out there running. We aren’t out there swinging weight around. It’s football. We get to go play football. It’s what were here for, its what we do. I think that something to look forward to every year, and as you get older, you kind of learn that and think, ‘these younger guys are going to figure that out at some point.’ It took me some time to figure that out.”

On areas he looked to improve upon in the offseason to prepare for the 2024 season…

“For me, there’s weightroom goals. I wanted to clean 405 and bench over X amount of squats over that. For me physically, it was kind of just play style. Working my hands, I had a bad habit of having bad hands last year, and that’s something I can really improve on this year, There’s the mental aspect, safety rotations, coverages, seeing things before they happen, stuff like that. That’s something as a group we’ve tried to learn together and tried to get better at.”

On his leadership role on the team…

“I feel like I just had to step into that category and just be that person for my teammates because we have a lot of young guys. Losing Marcus and losing Ladd, I became the last one in that class. I’ve been here for a while, so I know the ins and outs of the program. I know what to do, what the standard is and how to win.”

On returning for another fall camp…

“It definitely hit me. It’s year five. I’m excited regardless of what year it is. I’m excited. I love the sport, so I’d do it 100 times if I could. I’m excited.”

On Coach James Coley…

“I love Coach Coley. Coach Coley and I actually had a connection before he actually took the job and came here. I remember he texted me. He was like ‘You’re not going to believe it. They gave me the job.’ I was so excited. He gave me a phone call like 10 minutes later, but he recruited me back in 2019 when I was a recruit. I’d go on visits, and he’d always talk to me and recruit me as a high school student. We had a connection before he actually became my coach, so we just like stitched it back together. It didn’t take long to get used to his coaching because I remember how he was as a coach when I was a recruit.”
