Quotes
On what it means to be an IU football player:
It means a lot of things. I learned a lot from the coaches here not only as a player but as a man growing up. They've taught me so much. It's about hard work, effort and doing the right thing - they've always harped on that. That goes a long way in life - just doing the right thing.
On his favorite individual memory:
I'd definitely say it would be the Illinois game of this season. I had two catches - one being a touchdown, the only touchdown of my career. Hopefully I get one against Purdue, but it's definitely one of the highlights of my career.
On future plans:
I graduate in December. Then I'm going to hang around here. We've got some of the best facilities in the program, so I'm going to train with some guys that plan on going to the draft. I'm going to train and see where that takes me, and hopefully I get picked up somewhere and I'll go on from there.
