No, it wasn't just that one game. I love the coaches, coach Leavitt, he's so positive and energetic. I love that in a coach.

I want to stay close to home, stay in Florida. USF is an up-and-coming program. They play in a BCS conference. They go to bowl games.

A big relief. I was so happy. They were my No. 1 choice. I went up there (on a recruiting trip), and everything felt right.

They're keeping me at tight end and seeing if I get bigger. If I get bigger, they'll move me to tackle.

Baby steps. Once you get through this, it makes you stronger. I want to get something positive out of it and come back stronger.

Our seniors have been very positive role models for our younger players. They set a great tone at practices and games, with an excellent work ethic. They've shown our younger players what it takes to succeed at this level.
