00:00 >> Yeah.
00:00 >> So how are you holding up?
00:03 I saw you start showing up in the last couple of games without any kind of
00:08 crutches or braces and seem like you're really moving along on your rehab.
00:12 >> Yeah, I would say at this point I'm way ahead of my rehab.
00:16 I'm already starting to take the next steps and see my running progression and
00:19 jumping and stuff.
00:20 So really no complaints, just taking it day at a time.
00:24 And I'm just really seeing the improvement day by day.
00:26 >> Yeah, did you handle it okay, the disappointment of the injury?
00:29 It is hard for everybody.
00:31 >> Yeah. >> You can talk to Michael Penix about
00:33 that. >> For sure, yeah.
00:34 I mean, he's had his fair share of injuries and
00:36 I've definitely got a lot of good advice from him.
00:38 But honestly, I just try to keep a good head on my shoulders, a good strong mind.
00:42 And really one of the things, one of the phrases that has gotten me through this
00:45 is everything happens for a reason.
00:46 So I just take this time, try to make the most out of my situation,
00:50 and take advantage of having this time off.
00:52 >> When you got hurt, were you carrying the football and scrimmage?
00:55 >> Yeah, happened.
00:56 >> Wow.
00:57 Well, I know I saw you shortly after that,
01:00 driving out of Husky Stadium after practice, and you hadn't been around.
01:05 And I think you'd just come out of surgery because I saw you stand outside
01:08 the coaches building with crutches and a big heavy brace shorts, and it was cold out.
01:12 And I'm thinking, man, I remember those days just having to deal with all of that.
01:17 I think you're waiting for a ride or something.
01:18 >> Yeah, I mean, I'm thankful I have a lot of good people around me to support me.
01:22 I think the day you see my dad was actually picking me up.
01:25 So my dad came around, my mom, and just my teammates, my coaches,
01:30 they did a very great job supporting me and being there for me.
01:33 So I really thank them for that.
01:36 >> Yeah, what's the prognosis for when you're fully ready to go again,
01:40 do you think?
01:41 >> I'm aiming for spring ball.
01:42 >> Spring? >> Should be back around there, yeah.
01:43 >> Cuz they're gonna need you.
01:44 >> It's definitely- >> Kidding, do it.
01:46 >> We got a deep room, but I'm for sure looking for-
01:49 >> Kid Johnson about coming back,
01:50 but I don't think that's gonna happen.
01:52 >> I mean, he's been doing his stuff this year, so
01:54 I feel like either way it wouldn't surprise me.
01:55 >> Yeah, but he's accomplished, I think, what he came to do here.
01:57 >> That's right, most definitely.
01:58 >> Yeah, well, we need to get you on a ball game one of these days,
02:01 cuz I know last year you missed it too, and I heard about that.
02:04 >> Yeah, that's how luck's been, man.
02:05 But like I said, everything happens for a reason.
02:07 So when it's my time, I'm definitely gonna make the most of my opportunity.
