Transcript
00:00 preparation I had and just watching the tendencies of the QBs and I knew he,
00:05 he's a great, great guy, but I knew his tendencies, I knew his reason.
00:09 I was able to jump the ball and see where he was throwing.
00:12 >> Was there any extra motivation,
00:13 though, that you almost had to pick five plays prior?
00:15 >> Yeah, I was a little mad at myself where I could have caught the one before.
00:22 >> Elijah had the ball in his hands, you knocked it out.
00:24 Jabbar had the ball, you came over the top and took it from him.
00:27 What was the talk from those two guys?
00:29 >> Man, it was just jokes, man.
00:30 Just, I could have had this, I could have had that.
00:33 It was just jokes.
00:33 Those are my guys, though.
00:35 >> You dinged up a little bit, you okay?
00:36 >> Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
00:37 >> How different was it playing without Asa for most of the game?
00:40 >> It's just next man up mentality, but Asa's my dog, Asa's my roommate.
00:45 Hope he's doing good, but he is good.
00:47 >> Obviously, relying on him to get people lined up right, he knows the defense so
00:50 well. How much more responsibility do you take on when you're out there in his
00:54 place?
00:55 >> I take pride in knowing everyone's position as well.
00:58 Me and him, we challenge each other who's the smartest in the DB room.
01:02 He's really good, he's really smart, and he just challenges me being my roommate,
01:05 and we just go back and forth.
01:07 >> The process just when you got here, you didn't play a lot, and
01:10 then you got to this point.
01:12 What's that process of just not playing to playing a lot right now?
01:15 >> My old coach told me you respect the game, and the game will respect you.
01:19 Just keep my head down, just grinding, and
01:21 just knowing God has an opportunity for me, and it'll come.
01:26 >> You're the first UWDB to have back-to-back picks since 2019 when
01:29 Elijah Molden did it towards the end of the season.
01:31 Just what does that mean to you?
01:32 >> It means a lot, carrying that tradition.
01:34 I was here with Elijah Molden, just looking up to him and
01:37 him, watching him, how he plays, how he studies, just how he is in the classroom.
01:43 So it means a lot.
01:44 >> Do you feel more comfortable at safety at this point?
01:45 Cuz I know you're able to play a bunch of different positions, but
01:47 do you feel more comfortable in safety?
01:49 >> I feel comfortable wherever coach puts me.
01:50 He can put me at nickel, free, strong, dime.
