I want it so bad. I experienced a championship in high school, but that's in the past. I want to experience one here, and I want to get that just for (the upperclassmen).

I didn't really know about the school, but I knew about Coach Harbaugh from his playing days. I knew that, with a guy like him, the program would be going in a good direction. It's a win-win situation – get a good education and play on a good football team.

The past two games the coaches were trying to see who was going to be their go-to guys.

I had the mind-set that any school that wanted me, I was going to go there.

An athlete should push past all the elements in front of him/her. It's just another hurdle you have to jump over, it's just another obstacle you have to get past. Rain should not be a factor in any track meet.

It's just the first couple of weeks of school so not much has been assigned, but later it's going to get hectic. It's a challenge.
