Q: If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or ahead?

If I had a time machine I would go back in time to my sophomore year and get better grades.

Q: If you could ask any NFL player a question, who would you talk talk to and what would you want to know?

I would talk to (Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman) Aaron Donald and ask him what motivated him throughout his career.

I’m buying my mom a house, I’m paying off all her debts, and I’m getting my brother into a good private school.

Q: Who’s the best football player ever to play for the Red Knights?

(Pro Football Hall of Famer) Lenny Moore.

Branden Picazo. He’s a dawg on the field. Especially when you get him worked up.

Q: If you had a chance to play in the NFL, which coach – current or past – would you most want to play for?

Mike Tomlin (of the Pittsburgh Steelers). I like how most of the rookies the Steelers draft end up becoming great players under his coaching.

(Sophomore lineman) Romello Fuentes!! He’s always getting better and doing his job. I feel he deserves more recognition.

Don’t take anything for granted and seize all your opportunities as long as they lead to a good cause.

Q: What’s the one thing Coach Godinet has said that you think you’ll remember 20 years from now?

How do we want to be remembered? What legacy do we want to leave behind?

Q: What’s your favorite football memory?

Having the (preseason) pool party with the team. We had a lot of fun and it was a big part to building our brotherhood.
