00:10Demoree, or Lil D, as he's become known.

00:13What does it mean for you to see how your teammates and coaches

00:15have embraced him?

00:16And is he excited to watch you here in the Alamo Bowl?

00:19Yeah, he's having a great time out here.

00:22And for me, I mean, it's really awesome,

00:25especially coming from the small town that I come from.

00:28And then just seeing his childhood up close,

00:31seeing how awesome it is for him at a prestigious place like USC

00:35and knowing the genuine relationships

00:37that he's built with all these people and all his uncles,

00:40whether it's players or coaches or staff, just uncles, aunties.

00:44Everybody loves them the same.

00:45And they just welcome him with open arms.

00:47I think that's pretty cool.

00:52Hey, D-Nick, 10 days ago, you made the decision to go pro.

00:55And a lot of guys would be like, OK, that's the end of my time.

00:58USC, but it was really important for you to be in this game.

01:10But the job's not finished here.

01:13I mean, I just want to go out there with my brothers one more time

01:17and do this thing the right way.
