What attracted you to Georgia Southern when you were making a decision to transfer?

When I decided to transfer, I came down here on a visit and it felt like family; it felt like the place to be. It's closer to home, so it's a good fit for me.

What do you like to do when you're away from football?
I like to golf. I like to hunt. I've been doing a lot of deer hunting this past year.

What's your pregame ritual?

What do you prefer - a book, a movie or a video game?
Movie - Friday Night Lights

Ozark

If you weren't a football player, what sport would you go to college to play?

After football is over, what are your current career aspirations?
I plan to coach, and my dad coaches, so I'll follow in his footsteps. I want to start off at the college level then work my way back down to high school eventually.

What's something most people don't know about you?
I can rap.

Finally, what aspect of gameday in Paulson Stadium are you looking forward to experiencing on Aug. 31 against Boise State?
I'm ready to experience all the fans. I've heard from everybody so far that it gets crazy here on Saturdays, so I'm ready to experience that.
