He just told me not to put any undue pressure on myself. He said if I just relaxed and played my game, the big plays would come. |
I feel like my game has improved tremendously on the mental side of things this spring. I've had a lot of people tell me that I have the physical potential to play at this level, but it's about getting mentally where you need to be. I'm excited about my progression. |
I've done better than I actually thought I was going to. In the beginning of spring practice, I was lost. The mental part, it's just a lot faster. ... I was on the field just out there. I didn't have a purpose; I wasn't making that much of an impact. Now I think I've gotten a lot better. |
It's a game to some. They like the attention. They like the official visits. |
It's almost like building my résumé. |
My goal is to be a starter that first game. Whether it happens or doesn't happen ... I'm going to keep playing and let my play speak for me and make a case for me to start playing against Miami on Sept. 4. |
My recruiting process was very intense, and very interesting. It was intense because it started the summer of my sophomore year. |
Next September. That's when we'll see who can play. |
Not to sound cocky or anything, but I've always had confidence in my ability that I could play at this level. My dad kept telling me not to put any undue pressure on yourself. |
