00:00What's on par with the SEC in terms of talent in college football?
00:04Um, so
00:08I really can't explain it like, um,
00:12I think is just me taking that leap of faith in myself, um, seeing really what
00:17I can do, you know, like that's all it was, was me entering this portal and
00:23just figuring out if I can really play ball with the big boys and I can prove
00:28that and I want to let everybody know that I can do that too, because, you
00:31know, I've been doubted all my life because of my height and everything,
00:34but, you know, I'm overcome these odds and make sure everybody knows, like,
00:40I could really play this sport.
00:42I can really do this.
00:45Okay.
00:45How about how?
00:46Oh God.
00:46Sorry.
00:48I know you're good.
00:49Yeah, I was gonna say how, you know, how many ships are on that shoulder
00:53now at this point?
00:54Because, you know, Washington State.
00:55I mean, y'all said you had to go to Portland State coming out of high
00:58school.
00:59There was already some chips on your shoulder there because you went to
01:01Eastside Catholic, which is one of the better high schools in the state.
01:04You would think, okay, maybe some, you know, Mountain West School would
01:07take you, but you go all the way down to the big sky.
01:11With how long can I have you been stacking chips on your shoulders?
01:15Is it just been almost kind of your entire life?
01:17That's just kind of like who you are in a good way.
01:19I mean, respectfully.
01:20No.
01:20Yeah, for sure.
01:22My whole life.
01:23I had this chip on my shoulder and it's going to keep coming until I feel
01:26like, you know, I've proven something and you know, I'm too far like.
01:33There's so much that I got to prove in this game.
01:36So like, you know, let everybody know and I feel like I like haters
01:43though.
01:43That's the thing.
01:44I love all the hate.
01:45I love all the comments like that just drives me to be better, you know,
01:51every day is just a working day for me.
01:52So like I just can't wait for that moment because I'm built for these
01:56moments.
