00:00 >> Watching you have a progressive first season, seeing you on the field.
00:04 Tell me how it's gone for you.
00:05 >> It's going pretty well.
00:06 I'm trying to develop, get better, just learn from all the older guys and
00:11 everything, just continue to grow as a person on the field.
00:14 >> Yeah, and the fact that you got on the field, not every freshman has.
00:19 I mean, only about half of you, I think.
00:21 So what was that like when you got out there with the super speed?
00:24 It's like, I know I played small college football, and
00:26 I know it's like a car wreck every play.
00:28 >> Yeah, it was pretty fun, something different, just being out there.
00:31 Everyone's just having fun, flying down.
00:34 It's just something different.
00:36 I never thought I'd be out there my freshman year.
00:38 It was just pretty exciting, and I liked it.
00:40 >> Yeah, I know you got heavily recruited down in Southern California, USC,
00:44 that kind of thing really wanted you.
00:45 But here you are in the CFP, so I guess you made a pretty good choice,
00:48 would you say? >> Yeah, I did, I like it over here.
00:50 Coach Morales, he's a great coach, the way he recruited me and everything.
00:54 It was a big reason why I made my decision here.
00:56 It was just everything he did, I just like him as a person.
00:59 I like school and everything.
01:01 >> Did Devon recruit you as well?
01:03 >> Yeah, he was the little guy person I had when I took an official visit here.
01:07 But it was not too big of a reason, but a little bit, yeah.
01:11 >> Is he here with you?
01:13 >> Yeah, he's somewhere around here.
01:14 He was just over here recording videos and stuff.
01:16 He's somewhere, he's right there actually, standing right there.
01:18 >> But he's still out of action?
01:20 >> Yeah, his shoulder's getting better right now.
01:22 >> Well, the safeties could both leave, or at least one of them's gonna leave for
01:25 sure.
01:26 I really don't know about that right now.
01:28 >> Dominique.
01:28 >> Yeah, Dom, yeah, cuz he's an older student.
01:31 >> He's gonna, when he plays on Monday, he'll become the most used Husky ever.
01:36 He'll have played in 56 games.
01:38 And a place kicker did that once, but that's the most ever by a Husky.
01:41 So he should be tired.
01:43 >> Yeah, but he's a good guy.
01:45 >> So you see the opportunity, cuz he's graduating and
01:48 Asa's unsure where he's at.
01:51 So I mean, you could really move into the mix come spring and all that.
01:54 So you must be excited.
01:55 Yeah, that's the plan.
