Has your size changed at all?
I've cut some weight. After the season, I run more and I get to hit the gym more too.
What does your workout routine entail?
I do workout with the book that WKU sent me but I also do my own training and I run sand dunes, two times a week, pool workouts Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and then I play a game of football on the beach to get on the sand and get running in. Every day of the week I'm doing something.
When do you plan on reporting to WKU?
Should be June 5.
What do you plan on working or improving on through this summer?
It's not too much I can do about it right now, but I'm working on my route running and blocking, I wanna focus on that. I'm working on my hips, like explosion from my hips to help with blocking. I'm working on my hands. My whole game, just every part of my game I can improve something.
How would you describe your playing style?
I'm a physical, downhill runner and just punishing people. I've cut some weight and I feel better, got faster and moving around better so it'll be a little bit of everything. I'm gonna be a complete back, elusive and everything. I can make people miss, but in the past, I just wanted to punish people. I'm chillin in my game and I feel like it'll help me play longer, being elusive and deliver a blow. I'm just becoming a complete back as I grow.
What are some of your goals for your first season as a Topper?
I wanna be conference champ, start. I plan on competing for the starting job. My biggest goal, I wanna be offensive player of the year in the conference.

My favorite food or meal? Red beans, rice, catfish and some cornbread.
What is your favorite movie?
Friday. I like Craig. He took Debo down.
Who is your favorite musician?
One of my friends, his name is Pressure. It'd have to be him.
What would be three words to describe you?
Physical, athletic and smart

Meagan Good
If you could pick a fight with any celebrity, who would it be?
I guess it'd be Kobe because I don't like it when he's doing all that whining to the refs.
What's been your most memorable experience playing football?
Just one play, when I broke my school's all-time leading rushing record my junior year in high school. That probably was it.
