“I've dealt with a lot of adversity and came out a stronger person.”

“It should be an easy, seamless transition for me to the NFL, and I'm looking forward to it.”

“I'm very confident in my abilities. But also my knowledge of football.”

“My dad did a great job passing on what he learned from his career.”

“Especially in today's age, when you're in the huddle with guys from all different backgrounds and all different ages, you have to be able to lead, get everybody on the same page, and do what it takes to win.”

“Instead of letting things break you, look at failures as opportunities to get better. Become unbreakable.”

“There are endless what-ifs that have really made me have an appreciation for my journey and everything I have experienced along the way.”

“There have been so many stories out there about me, so many untruths. I've always believed you can only control what you can control. I can control my attitude, my effort, my commitment to West Virginia. I can't control lies.”

“After everything that's happened, I'm sitting here in my last year of college football. I'm just happy. I'm in a good spot.”

“I've been surrounded by good people at West Virginia that have really helped me.”

“I've read in various media stories that my dad and I had demanded guarantees of playing time or that we didn't want to play at Florida. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was the exact opposite. We went in there and specifically said we weren't looking for guarantees.”

“I don't get nervous. I don't feel pressure.”

“I love the University of Florida and never wanted to leave.”

“It was important to be with a coaching staff that didn't just believe in my football ability.”

“I'm just a southern boy who likes to go mudding in my Jeep, quail hunting, and skeet shooting.”

“It's God's plan, and I'm really excited to be a part of this new opportunity with West Virginia.”

“I wake up every day with great appreciation for life and appreciation to play this game.”
