Quotes
On what it means to be an IU football player:
It means a lot to me because I had a couple other places to go and I chose here. I came down here a couple times and they just really showed me love from the beginning. That's one thing that I really liked about it and coming away with a great education because I graduate in May. Really, just being loved.
On his favorite individual memory:
I can't say I have a favorite, but there's two that I won't forget. Sophomore year, the Ball State game and Purdue game the year we beat them here on the long field goal.
On future plans:
I'm going to enter the draft and let everything take care of itslef, because I know this year I had a pretty good season, but at the end I went down (with a knee injury), but hopefully I can get somewhere and train and get drafted and take my talents elsewhere.
