00:00 So one day, just happy to be here.

00:02 >> What in this recruiting process and transfer kind of separated Virginia and

00:07 made them a good fit for you?

00:09 >> First coach Elliot and staff came here and met them.

00:12 I feel like they were good guys off the field as well as good coaches on the field.

00:16 And then secondly, just academics.

00:18 I'm getting my master's done in a year, so

00:20 just have a backup plan once football's once over, so.

00:24 >> How quickly did it take them to reach out to you once you were in the portal?
