What goes through your mind when running onto the field with the team on a gameday?
"Just a lot, drilling, drilling, and just wanting to win."
What is your favorite thing about being a Red Raider?
"Favorite thing about being a Red Raider is just living out here in West Texas."
Is there a motto or phrase you live by?
"There's not really a motto I live by, just work hard everyday."
What is your personal goal for this season?
"Personal goal is to be all-conference and to win the Big 12."
Do you have any hidden talents?
"No hidden talents for me."
Who are some of the major influences in your life, both on and off the field?
"For me personally, my father because he was my head coach in high school and he told me everyday you've got to work hard in the classroom and then on the field everyday, he's probable one of the top reasons why I'm here today."
What has been the biggest difference for you personally from your first year at Tech to where you are now in your career?
"It would be the coaching change for sure, with Leach going and Tuberville here, everything's more demanding with Tuberville here. You have to be on time and everything, but everything seems to be better with Tuberville here though, seems to be running smoothly."
Give your personal message to the Red Raider Nation.
"Go Tech."
