00:00 I want to ask you about your running back.
00:02 Devin, obviously he's been a tremendous player on the field.
00:05 I'm curious what, you know, what kind of impact does he have off the field in the clubhouse and what does he mean to the program?
00:12 Yeah, it was part of the first question that I probably should have said about some of the things that has happened since we arrived.
00:18 One of the more impactful things that happened even before we arrived as a staff was Devin Deal, the Florence native.
00:24 He turned out with many opportunities to play in other programs, stay right amongst Kansas and come further on the Jayhawk football program.
00:31 And I don't know if you've been over to his area. I don't know which way he's at here.
00:36 Over there, next to him, over there.
00:38 When you have a chance to see a young man, his maturity, character, composure, everything about him,
00:45 it's not just his on the field play that is helping Jayhawks move in a positive direction on the football field.
00:53 It's him as a person and he's a great young man.
00:57 I love everything about him and he's going to have a chance to leave in a year,
01:04 hopefully as he continues to weigh his options as well, to be one of the finest Jayhawks ever throughout the union.
