Most Memorable Football Moment: “The win at Colorado State. Nothing I’ve done in particular, more just seeing our seniors sprint across the field and grab that (Bronze Boot) trophy and run back with it was pretty special.”
Most Embarrassing Football Moment: “I’ve got to go back to high school for that one. I lined up under my guard rather than under center.”

Something few people know about me: “I’m insecure and I have a big sensitive side, rather than the big front I put on.”
If you were not playing college football right now you would be: “Getting my psychology degree, working towards a doctorate and probably having a bunch of internships. Just working and trying to make some money because the economy is going to be terrible when I get out of college.”
