00:00It's been good though.
00:02What did you think the move from Cal to Washington would do for your game?
00:06Give you a better chance to be a pro football player or what?
00:08Yeah, that was the main goal, just trying to help me get better as a pro football
00:13player. We run a pro style offense here. Coach Jeff Fish has a NFL experience and
00:18things like that. So that all led into everything while I stayed. So that was
00:23the main reason, just trying to prepare me for the league.
00:26What was that time like when you committed to the previous staff? They
00:30leave and I assume you're evaluating your options at that time.
00:33Yeah, it was crazy because it was like a movie because I was here. I was here on my
00:36OV when the board left. So I was like, shoot, I don't know what's going on.
00:42I went back home that same day too. So it was like, Coach Jeff and me was like,
00:46I don't know what's going to happen. I might get a job here. I might get a job
00:48back there. I don't know. So I was just waiting it out since I didn't hear back.
00:52The crazy thing is too, when I hit the court the first time, Arizona hit me.
00:56They were like, if you want to come, it's good. So when they got the job here,
01:01Coach Casey hit me. He was like, if you still want it, it's good. I was like, okay,
01:04let's rock. It just spawned it after that. So you were here the day he left for
01:08Alabama. Did you see him that day? Who? Chef or DeBoer? DeBoer. Nah, I seen Coach
01:13Chef. He just told me what happened. Because I found out on Instagram, I'm eating
01:17breakfast. I was like, oh, snap. But it was funny. I thought it was hilarious.
01:21But yeah, that's what happened. Were you here like, you have family with you and stuff?
01:26Yeah, I was with my parents. It was my mom, my dad, and me just eating breakfast with Darnell,
01:32who used to be here. He's in New York now. But yeah, he used to be here. We used to eat
01:35at breakfast sometimes. I was like, oh, snap. But it looked like Darnell didn't even know.
01:39So I was like, oh. I just found out later. It hit me 20 minutes. I was like, oh, okay.
01:44But yeah, that's what happened.
