18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: that that process, I mean you know when I say

19
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: the process, I've been in them shoots before I understand

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: how we are as collegiate athletes. I mean, my goal

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: was out the gate as a five six year old

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: and I was asked what do I want to do

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: or what I was gonna be when I grew up?

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I said, a football player. I'm not sure if that

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: was your number one goal. But now that it's over

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: and you're here, what feeling do you have? Yeah, kind

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: of just achievement, just excitement. Like like you said, from

28
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: an early age, you knew that this is what you

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and I feel like it's the same

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: exact way for me. Um, I've always, like my parents

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: always told me when I was a young kid, I

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: never really played with toys. I grew up playing with football, football, football, basketball,

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: So I always kind of knew I wanted to do

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: something like this, and in football, I took it serious

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: from a young age and it's finally playing on. So

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: it was football number one sport for you, Because I

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: know I ran track, I did a daly with basketball,

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: but I knew football was number one. Track got me

39
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: into college. But you know, how was it like for

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: you growing up? Yeah? Football, football was always my number one.

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I didn't start running track till high school, started playing

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: basketball to middle school. But I've been playing football since

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: like a walk. So I always knew this was what

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. So tell me you was born

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I'm right? Did you grew up in

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Jersey or did you grew up in Philly or Pennsylvania. Yeah,

47
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: so I grew up in Jersey for about seven to

48
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: eight years and then basically just moved to Pa my

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: dad putting us in a better opportunity for me and

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: my family, just getting away from just a toxic city.

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: For it was good the opportunity to come to Pennsylvania.

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: And really it was a big culture shock for me,

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: but just adapting to it, it was good for me.

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: So how was it? I mean, like, take take me,

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Take me through your childhood. I remember being a kid man,

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: and I remember, you know, I stayed in Miami all

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: my life, but but I stayed in two different sizes

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: of Miami. And if you ever, I'm not sure you're

59
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: familiar with it, but you know, folks always talk about

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: South Beach when they hear in Miami. I grew up.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Liberty City, and Liberty

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: City is a world now known, it's known. Everyone knows

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: what Liberty City is about. And then then I turned twelve,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: I think, and I moved to Carroll City, which was

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: like rival cities. I remember those days, I remember vividly.

66
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: Do you have that memory of you leaving one spot

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: to the other, Yeah, for sure. When I first left

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I cried the whole way there. I didn't.

69
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave Jersey just because that's where

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: all my family grew up. My grandmother, grandfather, cousins and uncles,

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: like everyone was back in Jersey. So my dad moving up,

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: so we were the first ones to really move away

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: from the connected family. And I cried the whole car ride,

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: a whole hour, fifteen car ride. So it was tough

75
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: for me just going through that process, just because I

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: was a very young age. Yeah, and I kind of

77
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: only knew one place. But it was good for me.

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: But it was a better life though, better lifestyle, just

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: better opportunities. Around what age did you start playing you know, football,

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: or rather the organized football? Yeah, so I started playing

81
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: around four. I started playing flight football around four years old,

82
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: and I pretty much been playing ever since. Got You

83
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: Got You, You Got You? So high school yep, And

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I know we all go through it. You know, you

85
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: started whether you started ninth grade or you started TIM grade.

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: I started tim grade and I started straight out the

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: gate to varsity. Yeah, how was your journey in high

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: school knowing that my goal is to get to college

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing I love to do. What was

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: it like for you? Yeah, my early years of high

91
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: school were tough. Um. I went to a very small,

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: small high school and I was always like kind of

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the best player on my team. So my ninth grade year,

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: they moved me right up to varsity just basically threw

95
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: me in with the big dogs, and I was I

96
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: was about thirty five one hundred thirty five pounds, just

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: ready to make plays. But it was it was really

98
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: a shock to me to realize that, like, there's so

99
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: much more than just your talent that will get you there.

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: So just really having to understand throughout high school putting

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: the work in, um, it's going to enhance your ability

102
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: to play on the field. Was it always a given

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: that you knew that what you was doing at that

104
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: time was going to allow you to or allow your

105
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: parents not to have to pay for, you know, for college.

106
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: For you I'm not sure how you got into Penn State,

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: but you know, I knew the process for me was

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: a lot different. I remember it got down to my

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: last year and I was like, well, you know, I

110
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: look like I would be not going to school and

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: then things just drastically changed. How was that journey like

112
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: for you, Yeah, so basically my sophomore year of high

113
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: school was basically my breakout season started again. I probably

114
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: had around forty offers after that year, and going into

115
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: my junior year, I was highly highly recruited. And that

116
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: year I had broke my leg. That was the first

117
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: injury I've ever faced, and it kind to seem like

118
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: everything just shut down. Everything went downhill. A lot of

119
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: schools stopped talking to me. Um, it's not getting recruited

120
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: as as I was the previous year. So it was

121
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: tough going through that and knowing that like football isn't everything,

122
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: there's much more to life than just football, and I

123
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: really just had to hone in on on daily life

124
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: and just really let it take me. And I'm glad

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 1: you spoke on that because I remember going through something

126
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: going into my junior year. Football was taken away from me.

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: They said I had scoliosis. They said I couldn't participate

128
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: in anything of that sort. And I remember now thinking,

129
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: like when I'm just out here to the park with

130
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: my friends and the life that I knew, that I

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: that I loved dearly and wanted to have, you know,

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: pursue and and go pro in it might be over

133
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: from me, What was it like keeping your faith? Because

134
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: I remember what it was like for me. I kind

135
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: of it was a roller coaster from me. But what

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: was it like keeping that mindset and just knowing that

137
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: I can overcome this and still have the opportunity. Yeah,

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: it kind of just made me hungrier. Yeah like that,

139
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, that was the first time football had

140
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: ever been taken away from me, And that's when I

141
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: realized how much football really meant to me and how

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: much I really love the game. Like I wanted to

143
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: get back out there so bad. It hurt me. I

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: tell everyone the thing that hurt me most was sitting

145
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: on the sidelines watching and not being able to participate

146
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: with my guys. Because football is really somewhere where I

147
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: kind of bring out who I am and expressed myself.

148
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: So it's tough. It was really tough for me to

149
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: go through that. I'm you know, I'm just sitting here.

150
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: Things you're seeing is just I'm connecting with it because

151
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, I tell folks all the time, I suffer

152
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: from I guess social anxiety. I'm not good in the crowds.

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: But when I'm on that field, no matter how many

154
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: people in that stands, I'm at home. I don't feel

155
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: no one around me. I don't care what's going on

156
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: between the white lines. That's my safe haveing. So to

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: hear you say that, I mean I feel you. I

158
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: feel I'm in the same boat. But tell me something,

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: in college, it's a different ball game. You know. You

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: get there, you seeing it these guys and nothing like

161
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the guys that you played with in high school. That's

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: one thing we get away within high school. We play

163
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: against You might have a Blue Chipper or a five

164
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: star here or there, but the team sucks, you know,

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: to be real, you know, and you take advantage of

166
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: everybody is in front of you. That sucks because it's

167
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: not your fault that this guy can't, you know, live

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: up to the competition. What was it like when you

169
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: first introduced the Penn State and you realize this is

170
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: a different ball game. Yeah, enter in the Penn State

171
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: once again the same thing. I was light. I was

172
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: real light, probably about one hundred and fifty five pounds

173
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: going in there. And that was the first first adversity

174
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: I facing, just because that was the first time I

175
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: realized that there's guys out there that can do what

176
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: you can do. So that was that was a culture

177
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: shock to me again and it really made me honing

178
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: on my skills, honing on my abilities, and really just

179
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: want to be that guy. I had a guy in

180
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: front of me by the name of kJ Hamler, tremendous talent,

181
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: and it really like it. It dug at me that

182
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: he was that guy, like that was my brother and

183
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: he was that guy because I wanted to be that

184
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: guy so bad. I was that guy in high school.

185
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: So it really dug at me and just made me

186
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: just want to go harder, always be that guy. When

187
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: did it come to the realization that you can go pro? Like,

188
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, we all get that nod. It might be

189
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: a coach, it might be somebody that's watched you play

190
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that say hey, bro, you got potential to go to

191
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: next level. You know, I got it. I got it early,

192
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: like I played out the gate. But by my sophomore year,

193
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: folks are telling me, hey, you're gonna be a first rounder,

194
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: and you know, being that guy listening to it, I'm

195
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: just one of those guys. Didn't want to hear the noise.

196
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to go out there continue to produce. When

197
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: did you stop believing or even hearing that you can

198
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: go pro? I would probably say after my sophomore season

199
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: that's when I really I really just took it in

200
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: an account. Like I had talks with a coach, Franklin,

201
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: and he was like, listen, like, if you you have

202
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: the ability to be a first round pick, you have

203
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the ability to be successful at the next level, but

204
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: you really got to take this, take this to the

205
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: next step, and that off more. After that sophomore season,

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: going into my junior year, that was when I really

207
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: just enhanced my game. I started really taking the weight

208
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: room real seriously, just getting that extra working, and I

209
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: just I really started feeling in love with it and

210
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: just never got tired of it. So your game grows,

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean every year we get better. And then you

212
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: hear those noises, you hear the sounds, and you hear

213
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: everybody just you know, chopping in the whispers. Of Man,

214
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: this guy has potentially who is that one guy you

215
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: looked at, you know on that nixt level one, say

216
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: this is who I I basically resembled this guy? Who

217
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: who was that one one whit received me that you

218
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: watched growing up? Yeah? Um, I watched a lot of

219
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson growing up. He was always kind of a

220
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: guy who's right there in that Philly area, right in

221
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: the Philly area. Wasn't very big in stature, but he

222
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: made it happen. Um, And then that's that's kind of

223
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: how I've always been, just trying to trying to make

224
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: it happen. Uh, you you can't. You gotta deal with

225
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: the cards that you're dealt with and you gotta make

226
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: it happen. That's great, man. Well not you're here, man, Um,

227
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: I want to first, and I'm pretty sure I'm sure

228
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm not the first, but I want to congratulate you.

229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: But I will say this, and I don't have no

230
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: more questions for you. I want you to know that
