00:00 >> I know Texas can't take every Texas high school football player,
00:04 but they didn't take you.
00:05 >> Yeah. >> What are your thoughts about that?
00:07 The Vaughn Horns didn't take Javar.
00:09 >> Yeah, I mean, it's not really no feelings towards it.
00:12 I mean, they're gonna get who they think they can get.
00:14 And they did come after me, but I don't have no type of feelings towards them.
00:18 I told them earlier, I know I'm from Texas, but I've never really been a Texas fan.
00:24 That's no shade to them, but I've never been a Texas fan.
00:27 But I don't feel no type of way towards it, honestly.
00:31 >> And your cousin plays for them.
00:33 >> Yeah.
00:33 >> How close are you to this cousin?
00:35 >> Like I told them before you came over here, that's my little cousin who
00:39 literally used to cry cuz he couldn't spit it out of my house type of cousin.
00:41 We're really close, man.
00:42 We train together, work out together, all the sleepovers and everything.
00:46 I'm just proud that he's in this moment with me.
00:47 >> What have those text messages been like between you and him this last week?
00:51 >> This last week, it hasn't really been too crazy.
00:54 He texted me yesterday and told me happy birthday.
00:57 And then after that, he asked me to go out with him for my birthday.
00:59 And we haven't really chopped it up since.
01:00 But before this, we always talk, of course.
01:03 But I think we're both kinda locked in right now.
01:05 >> Does he play for D, cuz you play for D.D.?
01:07 You're older than him, right?
01:08 >> I'm older than him, right.
01:09 I think we all just fell in love with the position.
01:12 We're always all around each other.
01:14 Like I said earlier, I got my big brothers and my big cousins who played it.
01:17 And then he came along with my little brother and they started playing.
01:19 And so it just kinda fell into our lap.
01:21 >> How far away did you guys grow up from each other?
01:24 >> Three minutes.
01:25 >> Three minutes. >> Three minutes.
01:25 >> Did you play on the same teams?
01:27 >> Same league teams, yeah.
01:29 Of course, I was on the older team, but he played on the same organization with me.
01:33 >> Did you get a state title in high school?
01:35 >> He got two of them.
01:36 >> No, he got two.
01:37 >> Yeah, I didn't get one, no sir, I didn't get one.
01:39 >> So you've come to Washington, you're in the CFP.
01:42 You're a second team OPAC 12.
01:44 All these things have happened to you.
01:47 >> Well, we'd be shocked if you play college football again next year.
01:52 >> [LAUGH] No comment.
01:55 >> [LAUGH]
