Uh , some things that I definitely feel like I picked up on while in college was just the small things like , uh , offensive scheme or the way an offensive lineman stands in his stance . Uh , like this puts a little bit more back than usual . You'll pick up on that and know , ok , this might be a pass play and you can get a better get off than usual and there's certain things that , uh , you pick up on over time having fully padded , full , full , full speed practices almost every day .
Uh I actually recently saw a post or uh yeah , it was a post saying that 95 94% of your time is used in preparation and 6% is actually playing the game . So it's just you don't get a lot of who needs to go out there and play . So one thing I wish I knew was just to take every opportunity , go 100% each snap , every time that ball moves while you're out there on the field .
Um A coach told me once before that anything that's hard is good . So I definitely try to get better at the things that I'm not necessarily the best at or I need to cut corners or make sure I get better and at the small things in this area , uh just try to do as many hard things or things that are difficult for me as possible . Uh My recruitment process , my recruitment process is actually uh , a little different than the normal recruiting process .
And then I received my first offer the day before , uh , our first game of the season and I was from Temple University and , um , it was , yeah , it was definitely fast . Everything went fast . I was , uh getting calls from coaches almost every day having to come downstairs from class , answer , talk to them conversate .
Um Some things I did while training to be here now to give myself an advantage was definitely doing the things that were difficult . Um A coach told me once before that anything that's hard is good . So I definitely try to get better at the things that I'm not necessarily the best at or I need to cut corners or make sure I get better and at the small things in this area , uh just try to do as many hard things or things that are difficult for me as possible .
