“Football is a great representation of life. It's not always going to be smooth sailing. You got to learn how to adjust, how to deal with adversity.”

“My kind of mind-set is to just build and get better and better because it's a long season.”

“I grew up in the Haitian culture. Everything we did was from the Haitian culture.”

“The support I received from the football community in south Florida was overwhelming.”

“In the sport of football, everybody knows it's a high-collision game and you've got to be able to just maintain your whole body throughout the season.”

“That's kind of the goal as a running back. The offensive line blocks, you may gain five yards without being touched. But after someone touches you, how many yards do you gain?”

“If you get the ball two times, make two plays - make two big plays.”

“God makes no mistakes.”

“Initially, football kind of helped me be able to help my family financially.”

“The big picture is all about serving, just trying to make a difference, whether it's Be Like Brit - people need help, why not?”

“Ball security is job security.”

“When my opportunity comes, I just have to make sure I'm prepared.”

“All of the notoriety and all of the publicity that I have had since I was in eighth grade could be gone with a single injury.”

“Even though I am going to the University of Georgia, I am still a die-hard Miami fan. I just felt like Georgia was where I could have the most success.”

“When I walk on that field, that Michel on my back is not just for me. It's bigger than me. It's my family.”

“Your teammates are a family.”

“It's football, we all get tweaked up out there playing.”

“I knew at the end of my visit to Georgia that was where I wanted to play college football, but the other schools are also great, so they made it a little bit harder for me. But I always knew that Georgia was where I was going to end up going.”

“Sometimes, the running back's job is to make guys miss and I have to make guys miss.”

“I'm just excited that I'm able to help the team in any way.”
