00:10 >> All those guys want the best for the players.

00:12 They're really good people, really good coaches, and

00:15 they're super understanding of all of their players' decisions and

00:19 support whatever they think is best for them.

00:22 >> You go from the Mac to the Big Ten, and you get here, and

00:25 all of a sudden you say it's very simple.

00:27 The only thing that's different is resources.

00:28 Is that gonna make it easier for you to transition?

00:31 Cuz I'm sure that some people think about the Mac versus like Ohio State and

00:36 think that it's like a huge jump.

00:38 >> Right. >> But you get here and

00:39 you say that it's pretty simple.

00:41 How much easier does that make it for you when you get here and

00:44 you do realize how simple you are?

00:46 >> Well, I haven't got to play anybody yet, so

00:48 I'm still up for a huge test here in the future.

00:51 But just like the culture in the locker room and stuff like that,

00:55 everyone's the same, everyone's got the same goal, and

00:58 we're all football players at the end of the day.

01:00 >> Your first impressions of Bill O'Brien?

01:04 >> Awesome, awesome guy.

01:05 He's super friendly.

01:06 He came out and reached out to us when we're throwing routes,

01:11 getting some extra work in.

01:12 And he's always wanting to get the best of us and

01:16 making sure that we're on top of our stuff.

01:18 So he's gonna be sweet.

01:21 >> I apologize if you've been asked this already, but

01:24 can you walk me through the 24 hours leading up to you deciding,

01:29 yeah, I'm gonna be a Buckeye.

01:31 >> Yeah. >> What that's like for you.

01:33 >> I was a late transfer portal, just going over a lot of stuff with my family and

01:39 just weighing out options.

01:41 And it was pretty stressful when I entered the portal,

01:45 just a lot of coaches were reaching out.

01:47 But Ohio State just stood out to me and their coaches and

01:52 just their success and their background and their culture just really impressed me.

01:56 And I knew that this was gonna be home.
