On his big catch against Clemson…
“That is one of the plays that we had been practicing all week. We hit it a bunch of times going into the game and then we got the coverage we were looking for. Carson (Beck) gave me a good ball and we had a big score to start the drive.”
On the emotions during plays designed for him…
“It honestly happened so fast. I am not even thinking about that. I am just getting lined up, checking the defense. Looking on how I am going to run it. There is a couple of different ways I can take that route. I just see what the defense can give me and just run in there. I try not to think about it too much.”
On the depth of the offense and moving the ball to different players…
“I think it shows that Carson (Beck) has a great ability to read the field. I think it shows how deep our offense is. We have so many weapons in each position. This is a good thing that our team has going for us. That obviously showed on Saturday.”

On his big pass breakup against Clemson…
"Usually when the receiver comes their eyes get big, or their hands go up. When their hands go up, you want to mirror their hands, so where you think the ball is going to come to and kind of break their hands away instead of just going for the ball. Sometimes if you just go for the ball, you can miss and they can still catch it, but if you rake out the elbow or rake out one of their hands it'll be a way harder catch to make."
On his first career start…
"You just come out there and play every day, so I really didn't know I was going in at first to start at the beginning. Sometimes you might come in different packages, so you could start out on a reg, and I wouldn't have been out on the field, but instead we started on a nickel, so I was the first one on the field. My mom was there. She was pretty happy to say so herself, so she was there."
On staying locked in during a game with a rotation of players going in…
"Being here at Georgia, they teach you how to focus for longer times. During fall camp we have longer meetings, so your focus stamina needs to be really good. As to when you get in the game, you need to focus on what package is being called, when you're in and when you're out, so as long as you're able to lock in to do what you need to do, you'll be fine."
