105
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: early decision was the right one. It was a difficult

106
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: for you to come out of one. I mean as

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: a as a young man like you, you're always thinking

108
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: about it, for sure, like you're always want to make

109
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: sure you're making a right decision. We are talking about

110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: my mom, my parents, have were talking to my coaches

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: like you know, they're talking to follow my heart. You know,

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing. It was right for

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: me as a player and as a man. And you

114
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't add me other way for sure. And

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: you said pointing Tyler, you mentioned that ship on your shoulder,

116
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: the effort you give. Where does that come from? Or

117
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: like what motivates you to work as hard as you do?

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: I mean, definitely it comes from my family, my up bringing,

119
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: La you know, my mom she has to us at Larva.

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: It's just you know, having that work ethic, in that

121
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: sense of responsibility you know, will get you to where

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: you want to go. You know, coming out of high school,

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I was underrecruited, Like you know,

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get to play Rainy Texas Colls, Like no

125
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Texas College is ondeven offer me. So you know, having

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: to go through that, you know, just getting a Tulsa

127
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: and them blessed with that opportunity like it was so

128
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: huge for me, and like I knew, like you know,

129
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: I would make like every college who you know passed

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: up on me or thought I wasn't good enough, you know,

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm sorry with their decision, like with

132
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: the way I attack the work with where I attacked

133
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: my play. So you know that's been kind of my

134
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: ytond talk about that. People talk about your mean streak

135
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: and and and how you're really aggressive. You playing offensive

136
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: line the deepest lage mentality, yes question, can't you? Yes?

137
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Is that where it comes from? Can you just talk

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: about bringing that nasty demeanor and what that how it

139
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: helps you on the field. I mean, that's definitely part

140
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: of it. Like you know, playing D line, you all

141
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: want to keep that having attacking at the end of

142
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: the day, Well, you know I was, you know, I

143
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: want to be nasty and physicals and I want to dominate,

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, moving over to old line, I wanted to

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: keep that part of my game, like you know, President,

146
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Like I never wanted to give it up because you know,

147
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't believe in like passive blocking as an offensive

148
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: linement like you ally, we're attackers, like we're all offensive.

149
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: So you know that's kind of where that comes from from? Sure,

150
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: But what do you attribute the high number of penalties too?

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Is that you restiencing you or was that coming from

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, y'all want to, you know, take the coach

153
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: in like you getting better every day, so full upon

154
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,600
