00:00 one felt like you thought it would in terms of college football or was there
00:03 been anything that surprised you about this? Nothing too surprising I expected
00:07 it to be hard at first and it was and once you get adjusted everything though
00:10 everything kind of starts clicking and it all comes together it's a lot like
00:14 high school was honestly at first you kind of have to get in learn your
00:17 teammates and everything but once you get it down it goes by pretty quick. What
00:20 were the most difficult parts and maybe you said it kind of got easier was there
00:23 a moment or something where something clicked or is it just gradual? It was
00:27 really just adjusting to being with a new team you know you when you're at
00:29 home you have all your people that you're good with all your teammates
00:32 you're connected with and then here you have to regrow all those relationships
00:35 but once you kind of get good with the teammates and everything and then the
00:38 coaching and all that football stuff's gonna fall into place so really for me
00:41 it was just you know getting good with my guys first. Learned from some other guys in the
00:44 position group what have been some of the takeaways what have you learned from
00:47 some of the older guys? Bucky, Bucky's been big he showed me a lot about just
00:51 how to carry yourself off the field you know what times to come in when to
00:54 work on your body all that stuff and then Noah and Jordan and Bucky obviously
00:58 they've all shown me on the field just little tips and things that help them
01:01 like learn everything and so they've been really big in my growth here since
01:05 I've been here. How important are these bowl practices you know not every team
01:09 gets to gets to practice right now how important are these for you? For me
01:12 they're huge honestly I feel like I've grown a lot just in the last week of
01:16 practice that we've had and it's very interesting because you see the team
01:19 obviously starts to shrink and so you get a lot more reps and so for me it's
01:22 been great I've been able to learn a lot and just with the week I already feel
01:26 myself getting better so it's been great. The team could have shrunk more but
01:29 Bucky is playing in this game what does it say about him doing that and kind of
01:33 you can mention a little bit but what does it meant playing behind a guy like
01:36 him? It just shows he's a competitor honestly like that's all it really comes
01:40 down to him playing behind him has been amazing you know I watch everything he
01:43 does try to do what he does to get on the have the opportunity that he had in
01:47 front of him.
