Has your size changed at all?
I'd say I've added about four or five pounds. I've been working real hard with my trainer that I got. We work out every day.
What does your workout routine entail?
On days like Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday I'm in the weight room all day, from 6-8. I'm working basically every part of the upper body you can work. It's intense. My trainer, he pushes hard. On Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, I'll be on the field and we do footwork, legs, power work. Whenever we're in the field, it's leg strengthening. It's all working out and I can see myself getting better.
When do you plan on reporting to WKU?
The day after graduation, June 6.
What do you plan on working or improving on through this summer?
As far as strength wise, I wanna continue to work on my shoulders. It's actually one of my strongest parts but it's actually a part of my body that I use a lot for my position. I wanna get my traps and shoulders really strong. As far as speed, I just need to work on opening my hips better. You can never be too good at what you do. But if I had to choose a weakness, it would be my hips.
How would you describe your playing style?
I'm just a football player. If you're gonna be a football player, be a football player and do your job on the field. Some people may think I'm great, some may think I'm good or whatever. I just like doing what I do because I know it's what I'm supposed to do. I see myself as a good football player. It's something I love to do, so why not do it as best you can.
What are some of your goals for your first season as a Topper?
First of all, whever I'm on the field, I wanna show everybody I'm a freshman that can play. I wanna be on the same level as an y senior or junior or anybody who's playing at the collegiate level. Football-wise, I wanna get more interceptions than I usually do. I usually go for the big hit or swat it down, but you never know when you might need that turnover.
What's your favorite food?
Hot wings and pizza. I can't choose between both of them.
What is your favorite movie?
Step Brothers
Who is your favorite musician?
BeBe & CeCe Winans, they're gospel singers.
What would be three words to describe you?
Fun, athletic and laid-back
If you could date any celebrity, who would it be?
I'd say Oprah. Power's attractive.
If you could pick a fight with any celebrity, who would it be?
Muhammad Ali. I'd fight him back in his old days.
What's been your most memorable experience playing football?
When I was a sophomore. I was the only person to save a touchdown and there was a big, 240-pound running back coming at me. I just closed my eyes and I woke up and saw he was laid out. Honestly, I don't know, I just went into him, closed my eyes and laid him out.
