Xavier Truss Talks About Wearing Devin Willock's Number

Transcript

00:00 up back here and it made me sad when we come out and we run out in our entrance.

00:04 We come down here and have a little prayer.

00:06 I just, I got on my knees and I said a little prayer to him.

00:09 We started talking a little and made me tear up and

00:11 just being back out here in this stadium, seeing 77 out here, it's just amazing.

00:16 >> How are you guys gonna decide each week who wears 77?

00:19 >> Pretty much whoever's playing hard and showing that they're deserving of it.

00:22 It's kind of an incentive to play hard and kick ass.

00:25 It's like a pride thing, so I'm proud wearing this.

00:29 >> Is it one of any player or just the line?

00:31 >> I'm pretty sure it's just on the O line, yeah.

00:33 >> What's been up since then?

00:35 What was it like to process the game since you've been in the private league?

00:40 >> Yeah, it's hard.

00:41 It's hard thinking about UGA football without Devin Willock.

00:44 It's hard, he's my old roommate.

00:46 It's hard waking up every day without my roommate anymore.

00:50 But you still feel his spirit there.

00:52 You still feel the energy that he brought.

00:55 I mean, in the O line room, we have a drawing.

00:57 A fan actually drew a really good portrait of him and it's there every day.

01:01 So it feels like he's in the room with us every day.

01:04 He's on my background on my phone and everything.

01:06 So I think, yeah, it's a really rough, really hard time for our program and

01:12 for everybody.

01:12 But I think it's one of those things that's gonna pull us closer this year and

01:16 it's gonna help us get to our goal.

01:19 >> When did you guys first meet?

01:20 >> This was about a day or so ago, so not that long ago.

01:25 Coach Charles and everybody discussed it and thought it would be a great idea.

01:30 Just blessed to be the first person.
