00:00 >> How do you feel about this tight end group as a whole and
00:03 how you guys kind of complement one another?
00:05 >> I feel like we got a great tight end room.
00:07 Everybody got their different type of skill sets.
00:10 So everybody good, hard workers.
00:14 Yeah, I just feel like we got a great tight end room right now.
00:18 >> I remember back in January in Orlando, you said, look,
00:21 I get it, showing up to a place like Oklahoma, you gotta work for everything,
00:25 earn everything that's given to you.
00:27 What's that work been like so far, especially in the weight room with Schmidty?
00:30 >> It's been great, like I said.
00:33 We're in the weight room on the field, working our tails off.
00:37 I wanna outwork everybody, that's always my main goal, to outwork everybody.
00:42 Be grateful, yeah.
00:44 Coach Schmidty, he tough, but it's fun to be around him.
00:50 >> Has it been what you expected, worse, not quite as hard?
00:53 What has it been like relative to your expectations coming in?
00:57 >> I mean, it's everything I expect, everything everybody told me before I got
01:01 here, it's not hard enough to where I can't do it or I can't finish it, so.
01:07 >> Avoiding the Stairmaster?
01:08 Avoiding the Stairmaster?
01:09 >> Yeah, most definitely, I don't get on the Stairmaster.
01:13 >> You talked about that tight end room, what do you think you bring most that's
01:15 to them?
01:16 What do you think makes you stand out?
01:19 >> Honestly, my skill set.
01:21 I'd say everybody got their own different skill set, but
01:23 I feel like I can do a lot, you'll have to see.
01:26 >> Is there a certain game you have circled on your calendar that you're
01:29 looking forward to go play in?
01:30 >> Most definitely that, it's always gonna be the Texas game.
01:37 I'm most definitely looking forward to playing that Texas game,
01:40 the LSU game, that Bama game.
01:43 So that was the one I'm looking forward to the most.
01:46 >> How's it been getting just settled in, obviously, make sure you got reclassified,
01:50 got in, now that you're here, seem slowed down on that front,
01:54 just can lock into the work, that kind of stuff?
01:56 >> Yeah, everything, not everything is smooth.
02:00 My classes are straight, everything is just good.
02:04 I'm not having any problems, adjusting well with school and
02:10 in the weight room aspect, in the field too, so everything is just great right now.
02:15 >> Who have been some of those veterans that have been those sounding board type
02:18 thing just in case to help get adjusted, settled, all that stuff?
02:23 >> Say that again? >> Some of the veterans that have just
02:24 kind of helped you out?
02:26 >> Honestly, everybody, Josh Faneuil,
02:30 Farouk, all those guys, they've been helping me out a lot too,
02:34 holding me accountable.
02:37 Honestly, I can say my whole team helps me out, so
02:39 we all hold each other accountable.
02:42 >> How's the relationship with Joe John and
02:44 Seth grown just over this winter period?
02:47 >> It's grown a lot, we're always trying to get better, they always work with us.
02:51 I say, they're trying to make sure we have everything down, but
02:56 then when spring comes and then the season comes,
02:59 everybody have an understanding of everything that's going on.
03:02 >> What gets you most excited as spring ball is now one days away?
03:07 What gets you most excited about strapping pads up and
03:09 the whole season?
03:10 >> Honestly, being able to compete and getting the pads clapping.
03:14 So that's all that, that's all I'm excited for.
03:18 >> What's been Coach Finley's message to you as to the role that you can take on
03:22 in your own life and what his expectations are for you?
03:26 >> Honestly, just keep working, know what I gotta do,
03:30 stay on top of everything, that's what's cool, and football.
03:35 >> Obviously, you wanna go and compete every day, but do you have any goals,
03:40 things you wanna hit this spring to keep rolling into the summer and all that stuff?
03:44 >> I mean, not really, I say, you can always get faster.
03:52 Work on a lot of things.
03:55 >> Join Norman, just settle in,
03:57 a couple of pockets outside of football in class, stuff like that.
04:01 >> Yeah, I mean, that stuff right there, it's simple.
04:05 You feel me?
04:06 There's nothing that you can't handle or anything.
04:11 Everything is smooth, that's all I'm gonna say.
