00:02 >> Today you've had some rookie tight ends last season really shined,
00:06 one of them being Michael Mayer.
00:08 Is he a guy whose film you've studied or watched or a guy you have talked to?
00:13 >> Yeah, a little bit.
00:14 I really tried to watch LaPorte as well.
00:16 He made a name for himself and he showed why he was drafted where he was drafted and
00:20 why he had so much success.
00:21 He understand football, understand leverage, understand defense,
00:24 everybody has success at the next level.
00:26 >> Regarding Mayer, is there anything you like about his game or
00:30 try to pick from his game?
00:31 >> Yes, sir.
00:32 Like I said, even like I said about LaPorte, he understand defenses,
00:35 understand leverage, and that's big at the next level cuz they like to disguise
00:38 a lot of things.
00:39 So understand football and understand defenses will help you have success.
00:43 >> What about the Texas offense allowed you to double down in 2023 and
00:47 have another good year?
00:48 >> Say that again? >> What about the Texas offense allowed
00:50 you to double down in 2023 and have another good year?
00:53 >> Yes, sir.
00:54 Just we had that chip on our shoulder and one of our big things was culture.
00:59 We played for one another, not playing for ourselves.
01:02 Sark had a saying, team success bring individual success.
01:05 So our team success helped me get to where I'm at today, so
01:08 I'm thankful for the teammates I had.
01:10 >> KT, what does it say about the job that Sark has done at Off-Limit Law?
01:13 I'm wondering if you'll hear this maybe.
01:14 >> Yeah, it says a lot.
01:15 Like I said, our culture is what helped us get here.
01:18 If you look at our year one, we went five and seven to making it to the college
01:21 football playoff, putting Texas back on the map.
01:23 It's a great thing, just playing for one another, going out there,
01:27 dominating, having fun with our brothers, playing for one another, having success.
