Quotes
On what it means to be an IU football player:
Being a Hoosier it gave me a definition. I'm from Ohio. Going into the Big Ten, it's the Big Ten or go home. I'm here, I'm a Hoosier, and it's something I'm very proud of. That Rock is more of a foundation of me as a person and individual. Being able to be a part of something that is as big as a prestigious university as this, I can't even really explain it.
On his favorite individual memory:
I know spring ball was a good time. A lot of big plays are made throughout. I had a little game-winner in the Cream and Crimson scrimmage, and I had the opportunity to get a little celebration in so I snuck a backflip in the end zone. That was very memorable for me.
On future plans:
I'm going to still pursue football as far as I can. There's a lot of time this offseason - a lot can be accomplished between now and then. I'm looking forward to becoming the best I can with football and I'm looking forward to whatever the future holds.
