Just got my cast off about two and a half weeks ago. It's still a great opportunity to come here and still be part of the program, watch what's taking place.

I thought it would be a great opportunity the next time I came home. You just have to take what you've got and run with it.

It's great to be home. It's something every college player I'm sure dreams of. To go through (a January bowl) all three of my years I've been here, I can't ask for anything any better than that.

We have two great linebackers leaving. Guys are hopefully going to fill their shoes.

It was a big deal then, the first time coming in as a college player. I don't have any extra [this year]. I've been telling my family, 'Look, I'm not playing, so just don't come.' I've only got six and I am trying to spread them out evenly.

You can see by their example. How they play, how they practice and how they study the game. Just little things you pick up.
