So I would say the in-person um means that I have with coaches , I feel like the most important thing with that is just be yourself cause that's the only way you will really find your real home because if you're not yourself and you're acting like you're someone and then you get there and you're a completely different person that'll kind of throw the coaches off and throw your relationship off with the coaches . So I'll just say always be yourself and being recruited . So , um and I would also , I think , like I said , it was kinda weird .
Um Just , just a great mindset . Then you just have to be willing to work every day . And I say I will also tell myself that no matter what happens , just stay on track .
But once you get to the , the , um , your senior year in high school , that's kinda when reality hits you . Like , you just have to make your decision and go somewhere where you could play ball , which I'm grateful that I have to learn because it's a , it's great competition , a great school , great atmosphere to be in a great football atmosphere to be in too . So , and I feel like coming here made me a part of something big if you uh pay attention to how we've been playing , you know , you know what I'm for sure .
I feel like that's a big part of that . So , and just going into these next few years , just working on being better in my position . Um Learning more , the big thing really is learning more cause when a lot of people come to college , they always think it's just a physical aspect , but it's really more of a mental aspect like your mental mental health learning on and off the field .
I had my defense coordinator , Wayne Stein . And then later in the years , we brought in some more coaches , coach Brown coach Talley that taught me a lot of the fundamental stuff cause they coached a lot of college , a co a lot of college guys . So just having them around , they showed me like the things that I should be doing and things that I shouldn't be doing on the field and off the field .
