I have a chance to play early because they only have one middle linebacker ahead of me on the depth chart. I'm excited about playing there.

I loved their coaching staff and players. From looking at their depth chart, I have a chance to play right away. They only have one inside linebacker ahead of me. Southern Miss is close enough where my mother can see me play. I also liked how Southern Miss graduates 80 percent of its players.

It will be fun playing with my friends. I will be playing with a lot of good in-state players. My family can also come and see me play.

I like seeing myself on the Internet.

Basketball is extremely popular in this town, but there is just no where to play.

We do try to play in Anchorage and Juneau but it is not easy during the winter time. During the summer, though, we travel a lot. There are some pretty good venues all across the state and the whole scene just explodes with tourism.
