Quotes
On what it means to be an IU football player:
It's about tradition, it's about pride. My grandfather and my sister were both letter winners here at IU, so it feels good to kind of follow in the path that they made for me. It's all about pride for the jersey and the name. I love going home and being able to talk about us Hoosiers. Espescially after this week, i'm going to go home and talk to those Purdue people about it.
On his favorite individual memory:
Personally, the day I made the team. The day Matt (Kurz), I, Bradon Bugg and Mike Reiter came on. We're the only ones that stuck around from that walk-on class.
On future plans:
I think I'm going to hang out around here for a while. I graduate in December, but I'm always looking for something new and challenging, and when it comes to finding a job, I'm going to challenge myself to find the best job. I'm a sports communications major, so I'd like to be in TV broadcasting or something like that, but I just want to enjoy what I do everyday.
