Huskies edge rusher discusses motivation behind his changed look heading into the 2023 season.
Transcript
00:00 I think, speaking for the defense, I think it's a pretty complex scheme.
00:04 So to have a year under your belt, gain that understanding,
00:08 the coaches have that belief in us now too, or they're even expanding the playbook.
00:12 So it's exciting, we all kinda know what we're doing, and so
00:15 we're able to apply a little bit more, learn a little bit more,
00:17 a little bit more variations in the plays that we get to run, so it's fun.
00:21 >> Is the haircut a change up, or just change your pace?
00:24 >> No, yeah, the haircut was my dedication to the natty.
00:26 So yeah, I was like, we're about to get back, cuz I actually cut it right before
00:31 we did our last, what, five weeks of training.
00:34 I was like, yeah, I was in Rome for a little study abroad.
00:38 I was like, yeah, man, I get back to the States, it's straight work,
00:41 time to win that natty.
00:41 And it was kinda like my declaration of no going back, so.
00:46 >> How was that time in Italy, just to kinda reset, refresh?
00:50 >> Yeah, no, I was able to go this year and last year through our study abroad
00:54 program, and I think what it always gives me is just perspective and room to breathe.
01:00 I think sometimes we're always consumed by our schedule out here,
01:03 then consumed with winning in that culture.
01:05 And it's like, to just kind of be content with experiencing life as it is,
01:11 that was kinda dope, so.
01:12 Yeah, I definitely would, if the money's right, go back to Europe, but yeah,
01:16 it was a great experience to do.
