On his mindset throughout his time on campus... I just try to keep my mind right. We compete. I just keep my head down and try to do my best.
On things he wants to do better... Tackling. There's lots of things, but tackling is the biggest thing. Getting down the finer points and details are important too.
On his thought process when he sees the ball in the air... The Oregon State pick was on my second play of the game and against BYU (in 2019) it was up in the air and I just went up and got it. I don't really think out there when the ball is in the air.
On his wide receiver skills and why he chose defense... There were only a few schools who offered me as a receiver. When I was going through the recruiting process, that helped me narrow things down because I wanted to play DB. I didn't decide until my senior year where I wanted to play in college, but I love playing DB.
On Dorian Thompson-Robinson being mobile... This is the best we've practiced all season. We've faced athletic quarterbacks, so it's nothing new for us, but he's a good quarterback and we're getting prepared.
On the bye week... Looking forward to this game no matter what. I don't think the players really needed a bye, but it's allowed us to get things down and we've practiced really well.
On the throwback jerseys... I actually haven't seen them in person yet, only on Instagram, but I'm excited about getting to wear them.
