On his injury recovery process…
"It takes a lot of patience dealing with the injury that I have, being a high ankle. I've been getting better week in, week out though, and I'm steady progressing towards 100."
On the challenges Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart presents…
“Exactly that, kind of, because he's a big physical dude, he's very powerful, and he's a skillful runner. So, we got to make sure we get him on the ground whenever he's running the ball, whenever he's in the pocket."
On the challenges when facing an up-tempo offense like Ole Miss…
"Basically, just getting lined up, make sure our cleats are in the ground, we're ready to play, and getting our call in, making sure we can play solid defense."
On leading despite being injured this season…
"Just by remaining on the sidelines and keeping our guys positive, and trying to affect the groups in different ways, just by words and actions and helping the guys out."

"I had an injury against Alabama and was able to go back in. I didn't feel good the next two weeks, but I feel good now. Those two games that I was out, (Jake) Bobo did a great job, and we trust him. He's a really good player."
On his conversation with Nate Frazier after his touchdown against Florida…
"I just told him we can celebrate on the sidelines. Just score the touchdown, celebrate with us, then get over to the sideline, and we can do all the celebrating we want. He's young. He's a freshman, so he'll learn. But he is a great, phenomenal player."
