1. Why did you decide to sign with the University of Tennessee?
I had it narrowed down to Georgia, Tennessee and Clemson. Tennessee just felt like home. It has a monster stadium, the faculty staff was real nice, I met some of the players and felt like it was a good atmosphere to play in.
2. Describe the excitement you feel about becoming a college student-athlete?
I’m so excited, it ain’t even funny
3. What advice would you give to other athletes looking to get recruited?
Don’t give up in school, in God, in football because you never know how far you can make it. Don’t be afraid to step out of the box and enjoy life.
4. Who has been the biggest influence in your sports career and why?
Probably my parents. We moved into another home and I went back to football. They were always there for me. They always took me to camps; my mom would wash my clothes, and my dad would be the one to drive me. One weekend we drove to the University of Kentucky on Friday night and drove back down to Lincolnton on Saturday to come back home and go to church on Sunday.
5. What would you like to accomplish during college sports career?
I’m thinking 10-12 years in the NFL, retire when I’m about 35 and live on the beach (laughing).
