00:00 What ultimately led to your decision to enroll early and
00:03 kind of get out here, sooner rather than later?
00:06 >> Coming early was really a decision me and my pop staff figured out.
00:10 Originally, I wasn't too sure cuz I kind of wanted to have my senior year,
00:14 go to the All-American Bowl and be able to do all those things.
00:17 But after talking to my dad for a while, he made me really understand that there
00:22 wasn't really gonna be really a benefit to staying in high school another year.
00:25 I already knew where I wanted to go.
00:29 And I was ready to come get some work and I felt like I was just ready to go.
00:35 >> How do you feel about how last season went for you and
00:37 the opportunities that you did have for your work?
00:39 >> It was good last season.
00:40 It was a good first year.
00:43 I came in, it was all weird cuz of my whole work class.
00:48 So I came in right as camp was starting.
00:50 And camp was a little bit difficult cuz I really didn't know too much what was going
00:53 on, but once I started figuring things out, it just started getting better and better.
00:58 >> Looking back, do you feel like you made the right choice coming here earlier?
01:01 >> Yeah, definitely, definitely.
01:02 I'm definitely glad I made the decision.
01:04 Now I feel like, I mean, I could have been coming here now with all these freshman
01:07 guys, but I feel like I'm already here.
01:09 I've already been here.
01:10 I already know what's going on.
01:11 I already know how to go about things.
01:12 So I'm very glad I made the decision.
01:14 >> Is it kind of nice having players your own age on the team now with you?
01:17 >> Yeah, yeah.
01:18 I mean, most everybody I knew in recruiting is class 23.
01:22 So yeah, it's nice having them here now, yeah.
01:25 >> For you during the off season,
01:26 what were kind of just the biggest areas that you were trying to attack and
01:28 really improve?
01:30 >> I was putting a little bit of weight on, so I'm up like 206, 207 right now,
01:35 maintaining that and just getting more speed.
01:39 That's about it.
01:39 >> 206 or 207, about where you wanna stay?
01:42 >> Looking to probably just play around 210 this year.
01:45 Just keep maintaining speed and put a little bit of strength on.
01:48 >> Still working primarily at X?
01:52 I've been mostly at Z, but either side, X or Z.
