Transcript
00:00Coming in as a young guy, I was ready to ball, ready to go.
00:05Took that COVID year off to get mentally right and physically right.
00:08I wasn't where I wanted to be.
00:09Came back with motivation and purpose and confidence and matured.
00:14But having all those different coaching changes, I'm not upset about it.
00:17I actually enjoyed it cuz you get all those different coaching styles,
00:21those different cultures that these coaches bring in.
00:23Coming from Pete, to Coach Lake, to Coach Moore.
00:29You kind of get to piece all those things together and
00:31use that to be who you are and share that with the rest of the team.
00:35So yeah, I enjoyed it having all these different coaches.
00:38I got a bunch of different techniques learned,
00:39a bunch of different ways to do everything, so.
00:42Last question for you.
00:43What does it mean to you to have been a Husky for these last four or five years?
00:47I actually think it means everything to me.
00:48I enjoyed it, I loved it.
00:50I'll be coming back here as much as possible.
00:52I bleed purple through and through, Husky through and through.
00:56I'm just appreciative of Husky Nation and everything that you guys do for us.
01:01We're gonna see you on the sidelines for game days and stuff?
01:03For sure, yeah, as much as possible, as much as I can be out there, yeah.
01:06Perfect, man, thanks a lot.
01:07Thank you.
01:08So Brandon, just kind of peeling off of that.
01:09What have you kind of seen yourself,
01:11what area have you seen yourself grow the most in your time at Washington?
01:13Cuz you've had a ton of opportunities for growth.
01:16My knowledge of the game really, just learning more about the game and
01:20why we do what we do, it's different, it's just football.
01:24It's football in terms of cheerleading.
01:26That's where I feel like I've matured a lot in the past few years.
01:29So what was the goal coming out here today, and
01:31what do you feel like you accomplished today?
01:33Just showing who I am on the field.
01:35I didn't get to do that too often, I wasn't feeling like myself,
01:38my weight was low, I felt sick, I was sick.
01:42But yeah, I got to come out here at the weight that I wanted to and
01:44really show out and show them what I can do, right?
01:46I knew I could do that, I'm confident.
01:48So I enjoyed it, and I feel like I did really good.
01:51What was the weight you came in today?
01:54I came in today at 259, and I was just trying to be 255 or higher.
01:59So I hit my goal.
