00:00to look forward to.

00:05You obviously know a little bit about Oregon because you want to come here.

00:09What have you learned about Oregon, Coach Lanning and

00:11the guys that you didn't know before you got here?

00:14Now, like I said, just that joy and that peace factor, being able to drive an hour

00:20to the beach, go to the sand dunes, go see Crater Lake a couple hours up the road.

00:25So really just honing in on that.

00:27And Coach Lanning, the defensive minded coach.

00:30So knowing that he's going to get the best out of his guys and

00:33that coaching style is similar to Kirby.

00:36It just remind me of being a freshman at Georgia all over again.

00:40When you see the success that a guy like Derek Harmon had last year rushing the

00:42passer from the three technique, just being a disruptor.

00:45And that was able to work himself into the first round.

00:46How much does that excite you in terms of being able to step into a similar role

00:49within Coach Luke's defense?

00:51No, it excites me a lot because actually,

00:53Harmon was in my living room like a couple of days after that.

00:56So that's just having that conversation.

00:59I'm sitting across from a guy that was just here previous before me and

01:03kind of did everything the right way.

01:06It just kind of inspired me to go and do it better.

01:09Talking with the ball from one hand.

01:12That's the end of the video.

01:14Yeah.

01:16But you're still playing.

01:17No, I don't know.

01:18And you're still playing.

01:19Maybe you can just play that little ball.

01:20No, I don't know.

01:21Yeah, of course.

01:23You're probably playing.

01:24No, I don't know.

01:25I really tell him about this.

01:26And I look back up here.

01:26You're just playing with me now.

01:28I look back up here.

01:29You're just playing with me now.

01:30I'm going to be playing.

01:31Because I have an animal.

01:34I'm going to be playing with me.

01:35I'm gonna be playing with you.
