On his athleticism and its benefits at the center position...

"Yeah, I don't really talk about this a lot, but I played soccer growing up, most of my childhood. I really feel like the athleticism came from that. But bringing it over to the center position I feel like is really unique. Watching film, you see really athletic guys, but like, I kind of watch myself and it's like that's a tad bit faster. Just bringing athleticism, especially to this o-line, you know, the big two guys I got on each side of me, so it's just another extra puzzle to the piece if you will."

On how Sedrick Van Pran Granger has helped him be ready for the transition to the starting center...

"Sed, his leadership, everybody knows about his leadership, it's world renowned. Sed, it's just like, I can't even put into words how great of a leader he is. And like, I wouldn't even have to go ask him a question, he would lead so much that he would say things that just would answer other people's questions. You know, maybe a young guy whose kind of scared to maybe raise his voice and ask the question maybe, like he would answer your question just by leading the whole group. It was probably one of the easiest transitions I've ever had just because I've had a great leader in him."

On the areas he personally is looking to improve during Spring...

"I'd definitely say two things. One thing for sure is leadership. I would say that I'm a guy that tries and leads by example, but I know that at the center position the vocal part of it really needs to come about. And also, finishing at the second level. I feel like, you know, handling the first level, getting the calls right, I feel like I'm pretty good at pass protection. But, I feel like, getting to the linebacker and finishing, running through them, finishing running through my feet, so that's good."

On the youth of the inside linebacker room going into the spring…

“Spring ball is all about opportunity and learning, with the young group we have we’re just learning everything every day, learning to adjust to each other and just learning about each other. For the young guys we’re just helping them out so they can learn and know the defense. So, spring ball is really just about learning, and for a young group such as ours it’s a great opportunity for us.”

On his transition from outside linebacker to inside linebacker…

“Me being athletic enough to play the inside linebacker position while having an outside linebacker frame is rare. Many people have done it in the past, I’ve seen them do it in the past, especially here. Me entrusting the coaching staff to build my skillset and to make me a better player, I’ve just put my full trust in them.”

On what he wants to improve upon this spring…

“I want to try and find that inside linebacker dynamic by finding that role for me and getting in the groove of things. Having the balance of playing inside and outside is something that I’ve been working on all spring. Especially pushing that inside backer role as well, just growing off that and learning the ins and outs of the defense still.”

On taking a leadership role in the tight end room after Brock Bowers' departure...

"Just taking all the things that I learned from my freshman and sophomore year, watching Brock and Darnell [Washington] practice and holding the standard that we hold here. Making sure you're at the front of every line and giving your all every rep you take out there, whether it's individual or in a team run period. Being coachable, and things like that."

On the feeling of being the oldest tight end in the room heading into next season...

"Yeah, it's crazy. I remember when I got here my first spring, and how crazy that is for a freshman to go through, so I know what those guys are going through and how they're feeling. It's definitely different to be on the other side of things finally."

On his early impressions of Jaden Reddell and Colton Heinrich during spring practices...

"Yeah, it's a lot coming at you with our offense and everything. I remember when I went through that, how I felt and how it was. They are doing really well. They're coming in, watching film and learning. It's not easy as a freshman but they're going to be really good players."

On what to improve on in the offseason…

“I want to improve in the run game. My hands I have a tendency use my head in striking blocks to get more separation, because I realized in some of the games that I will get caught up on some tackles because I let them get my chest before I press them out you know and in the pass game winning more efficiently and run out situation.”

On hard practices and going up against Oscar Delp…

“I claim to win every single run and then Delp claims to win every single pass because, you know, he's faster than me and I'm stronger than him so it's kind of a switch off and you know, it's it's always competition and both have our rounds of what we claim to be our best attributes. You know, I just don't like losing either one of them.”

On head coach Kirby Smart…

“He respects you a lot more because he knows what you've been through.”

On his future career…

“I’m going to school trying to go for physical therapy, I’ve also been thinking about going the MMA route, training for that. I have been cross training the past three off seasons. Coach suggested it for hands and body positioning, and I really like it.”
