When I was in middle school, I really was not that athletic. But I stuck with it and that hard work eventually paid off.

The team needed someone, so I made the switch to tackle this year. I've also spent some time playing linebacker.

I think the team next year is loaded with some young talented guys that will really step up and do well. Coach [Cramer] is awesome. He's been around the sport for so many years, having wrestled in college and all. He's someone we all listen to because he's been there and gone through everything.

It's a great school, and I'm excited about going there.

I'm happy to just be back in school. I like to learn.

I've been looking forward to that ever since they came to the school. I can't wait to get out there and compete with all those great players. I want to see San Antonio, too. I hear it's really nice.
