Transcript
00:04What would you say is the biggest difference, the one big difference from you right now than last year?
00:11Just my gratitude level, just being more grateful for the day-to-day things that we do and just being
00:17with my feet off.
00:19You know, you've kind of bounced around right throughout your college, but then you really found a home here in
00:24Eugene.
00:25So what is it about Coach Dan Lanning's culture that really made you feel at home?
00:30Just believing in me, honestly, just being another father figure, just being one of the guys I can call uncle
00:37and really just trusting what's going on.
00:40I believe in his decision-making. He trusts my ability to go out there and do what I'm supposed to
00:45do.
00:46So really just trusting in Coach for real.
00:48Yeah. Is there maybe, you know, I've asked this to everybody, I guess some really funny Coach Dan Lanning stories,
00:54some really intense Coach Dan Lanning stories.
00:56Is there a moment that really stands out to you about your coach?
01:02Him just standing on me about the little things, rather than making sure as a man we eat last and
01:09just making sure we see everybody else eat before us.
01:11Or just really Coach's point that stick out.
01:16Yeah.
01:17I would say, I think when he told me, like, just not worried about the machine, we say the machine
01:23media.
01:23So just making sure that we're not allowing the outside noise to reel in and distract us.
01:29Oh, yeah. You say that as you're talking to me.
01:33I promise I won't be too big of a distraction.
01:41Let's go.
