On playing tackle …

“It’s something I have definitely been told since I started playing football when I was younger. You can't block anyone unless you can stay in front of them. So if you can stay in front of someone you always have a chance to block them so I really take pride in my technique. I know a false step or something can be different for me than someone else. I just have to be on top of my technique to make up for the length.”

On how much more comfortable he feels this time compared to last year and being healthy again …

I've always had confidence in it. I know the surgery and rehab went well. Last spring with it being the first time on the field it's definitely in your head a little bit. Going into this year I am feeling a lot better and it is most definitely easier from a mental standpoint.”

On improving stamina and work ethic and what was the hardest part coming back from injury …

I always say it takes football to get into football shape. You can do all the conditioning you want to but it's mental and physical. You can take as many walk-through reps as you want to, as much film as you want to study but it takes live reps on the field to get comfortable.”

That can go for anyone in the offensive line room because of all of the work we put in throughout the week.”

On being a tone setter…

“It’s one of my favorite things. I like running into people and running over people. It’s just a mentality. Their mouthpiece better be in because mine is in and I’m coming for you.”

“My mom comes here every game, my family is pretty athletic, everyone holds high expectations of me as I came to this level. She's my greatest support role, she comes to every game and every spring game since I have been here. I love my mom, I hold everything dear to her.”

On competitiveness …

“In high school I didn’t really play safety. I played more on the offensive side of the ball. I’d rather hit big people than get hit by big people. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to play safety. Learning safety here is very difficult. There are a lot of ins and out of our defense that are quite difficult for me to understand, which is why I didn't play the position at the time. Things started clicking around last year and started to get into a groove to see how I was going with it. From that point on I have been growing, growing and growing.”
