Kickin' It With The Colonels Ep. 26 (Football)

well words we've all been eager to say are here for a long time it's game week for EKU football and the colonels will take on Mississippi State on Saturday welcome into the kicking it with the colonels podcast and today we're joined by EKU football we have Joshua Carter Matt morrisy and Patrick nation's here with us on the podcast today gentlemen how we doing today doing good doing good everybody good you know we chilling we vibing there we go we're in this nice player Lounge got some ping pong over here Papa shot who's the the champ Ion at ping pong and papa shot so far I I say I was but Pat just took my title there was one day in uh fall Camp it we got rained out so we had to come here for a little bit and I was running through everybody but you know Pat just took that title today he kind of he just had to shut that down real quick but the background that I found out about him he had a big Advantage it's not what was that it's not that big well I grew up in Asia for a little bit lived over there a little bit so grew up playing here and there so you may went back to your roots I guess just a just a little bit so now that we we say game game week has arrived how good does that feel for you all as players to all the the the heat the the exhaustion fall Camp's over now it's finally here feels good you know just going against the same you know defense same looks for three weeks gets kind of exhausting for a little bit so now it's it's fun to be able to you know game plan for somebody else although we are seeing the same personnel as far as you know practice wise but learning a new system as far as what we're going to go against you know they're uh they're going to throw a few different things at you that are defense may not run like completely so I mean it's I'm just happy to be playing against somebody else at this point seeing some different looks yeah like you said I mean it's good it feels good especially because now like this the good part of football the fun part you know you're practicing and you get you get rewarded with the game at the end of the week so you know that's the best part of football so summer now has officially in the rearview mirror let's let's look back on that now did y'all do anything fun over the summer outside of football we went bowling we went bowling as a team that was pretty fun for me you know just being around everybody just having some caderie with the organization I mean I think everybody in the organization ended up coming through for that that bu night after you know a little Golden Corral meal you know coach would like to feed us you know a little buffet dinner and then football players like to eat don't they absolutely absolutely who want in bowling do you remember I have it was all different there was like it was a bunch of different Lanes so kind of it was kind of who you were going against it was competitive though I will say that it was getting competitive out there so now that fall Camp is over it's in the rearview mirror how was fall camp and what were your takeaways from Fall camp this year fall Camp you know as far as offensively I think we have uh we showed that we can you know we have days that we can build on we got you know individuals that that or taking the next step you know just make sure that they're they're at their best so our unit can be at our best and um you know different leaders stepping up Matt was a huge part of that you know just being a new to our program and taking that next step forward you know just show showcasing his talents and the scrimmages and practices and then also showcasing like what type of person he is off the field and what type of leader he can be for the for the unit for the team so I mean I just it was fun all around just seeing people fly around get after play some football you know that's what we're all here for at the end of the day play a game that we love so it was it was amazing and Matt your first fall Camp here what was what was your biggest takeaway yeah it went good uh to be honest it was hard it was but I feel like you know the harder the camp is the you know the better it'll be for the team but yeah I think especially as offense we showed glimpses of what we can do now just you know got to put it together every single day be consistent every single day and like Josh said you know they did you know having guys like Josh pton John like they made my life easier on offenses you know as far as trying to lead cuz they're so experienced and you know such good players as well so it helped me come into the offense better as well but you know definitely excited to see this season and then Pat for you you're a pro at this now yeah done it a couple times I mean it's it's been good it was a good camp um I mean for US Special Teams it's pretty much the same thing every day just I mean there's not a whole lot you can change and not a whole lot you can do you know for them they're PR practicing for looks PR practicing for Mississippi State and everything for us it's the same thing no matter what game it is whether it's practice you know we really don't change looks you know we're looking at it upright every single time no matter where it is that always stays the same that's a constant it always stays the same so our job our job's a little different but it was a good camp we had a good camp how do you all stay sane you have to really love football to be able to go through fall Camp because it's early in the morning to late at night yeah you definitely got to you know love football I feel like if you don't love football there's no way like if I didn't love football there's no way I'll would get through fall Camp so definitely that and then just saying staying sane I feel like you know the guys we got in our team like you know it's kind of fun to be around them you know when you're not at practice you know you got you know people at lunch like making you laugh and stuff and then you know a big thing for me as my family like when I would get on from practice or something just talking to them during at the end of the day or just you know get my mind back right for the next day absolutely just to you know peek back off that like family is a a big thing that I take pride in so it definitely helps me get through it you know sometimes some days I I might not feel like I'm at my best but you know just understanding that your family is going to be there for you at the end of the day regardless of how you perform that practice or how your meetings are going and then another thing that kind of helped me specifically was really understanding that everybody is going through it at this point to it's fall Camp it's hot we're here for feels like an unlimited amount of hours a day as many hours you can have in one day we up here but you know just understanding that everybody's going through do the same thing we're all working towards the same goal so I mean that that's that's a huge game changer once people you know get to realizing that uh you can't really feel sorry for yourself in a moment like that and weeks like this because it's hard for everybody so and you have to have a lot of discipline to be able to make it through a fall Camp what are some of your all's personal goals heading into 2024 uh for me personally I want to you know be a good leader for the team and the offense and just you know help play my part to make this offense the best that it can be and you know obviously you know as a quarterback I feel like I have a lot of responsibility on other guys successful so I want to see a lot of my other guys you know have great Seasons as well so just you know my play my part the best I can be a great leader help make this offense as good as it can and the defense and then you know also just you know being able to help my guys you know eat as well this season absolutely yeah I mean pretty much the same goals like my individual goals are really kind of team oriented you know now obviously you know as a senior going into the Le season I I would obviously want to you know just to get a chance to go to the league get a senior invite you know just put together a season that that I can sit back and realize that hey you did everything you could this year you know what I mean and then as far as like the team oriented goals go for my individual self is seeing how many people that I can influence you know just every day on a daily basis see if if I can motivate them how I can motivate them see them take the next step every day just never taking a step backwards and then just see how many people get an opportunity to play the next level I feel like that'll speak Testament to what our our team is going to be this year is just you know just seeing everybody after this season what kinde of recognition they get imp Pat for you yeah I mean for me honestly um it's all team oriented you know 95% of my job I'm standing on the sideline so like this season I really want to you know invest my time on the sideline keeping the gu up whether it's offense defense you know offense is driving the ball well if defense isn't doing so good then you know hype my guys up over there vice versa um I mean personally for me a goal I'd have is definitely scoring record I'm pretty close to that so that's something that I'm looking forward to personally but obviously you know we want to be undefeated in Roy kid stadium win a championship go to the National Championship well it's going to be a very challenging schedule I know Matt you weren't part of the the program last year but five and six last year 4-2 in the UAC UAC is a really good conference what do you feel like especially for the two new or two returners what do you feel like EKU needs to do to take that next step to be able to to have a successful year and then Matt you can chip in on that too I mean for me personally just from what I've seen I would definitely say just finish finish the fourth quarter because I mean we lost I don't know how many games within seven three points whatever it was four games by combin 12 points yeah like just I mean we just got to finish and I mean it's heart-wrenching when you lose games like that but it's the reward is even greater when you win games like that so I would definitely say if we can find out a way to finish in deep in the fourth quarter that would change the season drastically absolutely just figure back of what he was saying too like we want to finish strong but one thing I I will say that we you know our struggles were last year was starting strong you know you know starting the game strong so that way the finishing part is not really that much of a of a task you know like get ahead of to get ahead of the count you know what I mean um getting points on the board early getting stops on the you know on the field early turnovers all that type of stuff you know just starting strong and finishing fast then Matt anything you want to add to what what you think will make a successful year yeah definitely just you know not being here last year but you know when I was getting recruited just coming in and seeing the schedule you know every game was close so you know since I've been here coach Wells has been preaching you know finishing you know we even had shirts that said finish so just you know that's a big thing finishing and then you know coach Richmond's been preaching to the offense just all the little things is what's going to help get us over that edge and now in 2024 especially rosters change almost by the hour it seems with with the portal and everything how H how's the newcomers jailed into this current fold that you all have we got a whole bunch of new guys it's you know seeing them one's right here in the middle absolutely there one of them right here you know just seeing everybody you know understanding what what our team our team is about you know just what we need from them how they're going to fit into the system um just learning their roles and everybody just on the same path towards the same goal I mean it's been amazing seeing that type of stuff um some of the older guys that have been here before you know just kind of trying to have a guiding hand to where you know where the new guys that are coming in to help them find their way into the system you know cuz sometimes you don't really know where you are you know and sometimes just need somebody else to you know just give you a little bit of advice to be like well this is this is where we see you this is where we feel like coaches see you I mean coaches obviously tell you like where you are in the system as well throughout you know just your performance and where you line up on at the depth chart and that type of stuff but everybody has a different role it's like a a whole organism so just seeing everybody mess together is I mean it's been a testament to what our coach has been here that's yeah obviously being a new guy you know the players on the team have made it you know really easy being here you know I met Pat on my visit we've been close since and then ever since I got here I've been close with Josh and then you know just the guys on the team like they're kind of welcoming you know I felt like I've known these guys for a long time a lot longer than you know a semester the spring and the summer but so yeah they've made it really easy to come in here and you know get comfortable and you know I'm excited to go out there with these guys this year Pat I know you've got a couple on your special teams group as well yeah we got a couple on our special teams group um they've jilled well I mean they they've gotten in there we did our work in the summer did at all fall Camp you know they're doing what they're supposed to do and doing what they need to do um but even the other guys on offense defense the new guys like Matt said met him back in December I think when he came on his visit the first time got to know him there got to know a bunch of the guys coming in um I think our team as a whole has done really good job of getting to know offensive new guys defensive new guys everybody just kind of gels together like dinner lunch whatever it is you see every side of the allall just kind of sitting together whether it's new veteran whatever it is just everybody's mending really well really cool talking with the EKU football here in the kicking it with the colonels podcast Joshua Carter Matt morresy and Patrick Nations here got a couple individual questions for you all now let's start with Josh 32 in your first couple of years why the switch to eight now um you know I I originally wanted eight you know coming into this school but I was I was handed 32 cuz I have no clue I would assume it was because my brother were 32 too so you know just seeing him we a in college was kind of really in the back of my head like not necessarily just copy him but I mean he had a lot of success weing the number too so I mean that was obviously a big thing my favorite number is four I wanted to have a number that you know kind of correlated it in some type of way I wore full a way up GR up until I got to college so just wanted to get back to those roots a little bit and I don't know how much you you you know of the history book here at EKU but for a long time when the national championship teams it was very running back heavy there were a lot of run heavy Runners and now to kind of have yourself be among that group what does that mean anything to you for a program that is so like the history is so running back Centric absolutely you know just you know just trying to leave a mark you know and then some of the guys they they do come back here you know just chop it up every now and then just trying to take tips as much as I can from everybody you know just understanding what they saw and what their Vision was you know coming into a system of this you know this school this culture this organization and how much it means to them you know they take a lot of pride in that type of stuff so I mean I would you would only hope that I had enough Pride you know just to come out and take it as serious as they did if not a little bit more so you know we all have our individual goals as far as like getting to the next level and stuff but you know just being a running back here Aku also means a lot to me and one of the big biggest Keys about football is being in the weight room and you know a little bit of thing or two about being in the weight room absolutely weightlifting state champion right here yeah was it over 700 lb 7 I don't remember what the total was it probably was like I think it was like 7 like 715 or something like that something close to it it might have been a little bit over jerk and bench press yeah so in Florida when I was in high school we did bench and then we did cleaning jerk but no now recently they added the squat or the snatch or is it squat or snatch I can't remember which one it was but no we didn't when I was of high school it was just clean and jerk and bench press now it's a little bit more complicated right yeah a little bit for those that may not know you're transfer from South Alabama coming over and when you were at South Alabama you were on the other side of the ball too I was yeah linebacker for sure yeah I went there as a atth the uh the running back room was a little full when I got there so there was like hey we're just going to put you at linebacker cuz you know well coming into the coming out of high school a lot of my f was at linebacker and they knew I came from a long line as a running back as far as my family's concerned but I had good F about linebacker so it wasn't too much of a problem you know to just put me there for the time being and then yeah new coaching staff got there I was like hey just perfect time to make that switch cuz nobody knows anybody the coaches don't know the players no none of the players know a new playbook so it's kind of a fresh start to get you know put in the system like that so just ended up making that switch to running back haven't looked back since do you ever find yourself thinking as a running back now that when I was a linebacker this was how I would read the offense and ab does that help you absolutely well a real throwback right so I I originally played defensive line of high school I was like that though so let's not like no all jokes thought I was really one of the ones so so playing defensive line and playing linebacker it definitely helps me like understand as far as the defense is concerned the base rules the you know the responsibilities what's going to be there what's not going to be there um just based on you know the offensive personnel and you know just looking at what the defense gives me you know if they're they're shaded you know wi nine you got a you know five four eye three you know just the the base defense type of stuff you know where the linebackers are set up what their responsibilities are and I always take that into account as much as I can um I will say there is sometimes there might be some plays where it's like I may not be thinking that much in depth because the things are moving really fast but when I have the time to I definitely you know just go back to those type of roots so you never came off the field in high school no no I was on the field probably 95% of the players we had out there all special teams all offense all defense all all that type of stuff now now you mentioned it a a couple times your family obviously a big running back family brother in the NFL how big of an influence has your your dad your brothers been in you becoming a successful running back been huge you know they they always I talk to them if I don't talk to him daily it's probably every other day at least one or the other and I have another brother too as well you know he went to Hardy University um play running back there and it's always me shoot I train with them actually so whenever I go home on the off season I train with them just trying to pick their brains a little bit see what they see like what my strengths are what they think my strengths are what my weaknesses are how can I make those weaknesses into Strings and how can I build on those streams so I mean shoot they give me lessons all day every day every time I talk to them I learn something from them and now Matt let's go over to you now you won the recent starting quarterback position congratulations on that battling for that starting job with Cam hget what's the relationship between you and cam because I feel like some people think that you're in a battle you you naturally don't like each other what's that relationship been like for you no me and cam actually have a great relationship you know we're still friends we still you know joke all the time and stuff and I think you know there's a lot of respect in in the battle just cuz you know he's a great player so like I've said in the past you know he made sure like he made me better because I knew you know he was going to come and bring it every day so I knew I had to come and bring it every day as well so you know I think if anything it made us closer because you know I got we got more respect for each other and you know we still got a great relationship I still think he's you know a funny guy he always makes me laugh and stuff vice versa so yeah it's a good relationship now this is the first time in a couple years that EKU will have a new quarterback Parker McKenna gone via the graduation what can Colonel fans expect from you under Center here in 2024 uh just the guy that's going to give him give it us all you know I want to play for the team I want to you know have success uh with the team and individually but yeah just a guy that's going to leave it all out out there every week and you know give us all every single game and I I know you weren't part of the team last year but I'm sure by now being around the program you've heard of Parker McKenna maybe even met him a couple times how important is it for you and maybe even the fans to not get into that comparison because if you look at the record book mckenny is one of the all-time greats here at EKU how important is it for yourself to not and and the fans as well to not compare yourself to to McKenna yeah uh obviously Parker's had a lot of success he was a great quarterback you know he's a big reason why I wanted to come here when I came out the portal cuz I've seen the success he had uh and yeah I mean just you know the comparisons I mean we're two different players you know I got a lot of respect for him I actually uh he was at our scrimmage last week and I asked for his number because I'm sure I'm going to uh you know be texting him you know throughout the weeks and stuff for advice and everything cuz just you know seeing the success he had I would hope to you know have that same type of success as well and you come from the Missouri Valley Conference which is a very challenging conference as well you started there last year what do you think you learned from that experience that you can take here to EKU in the UAC uh yeah I mean the Missouri Valley Conference was tough I mean you know if you just see the players they put out every year you know it's definitely uh you know top-notch FCS football so I you know the uacc is a great conference as well and you know the Missouri Valley there's a lot of you know a lot of the teams are similar as far as like you know games close games tight conference racing I feel like that's you know similar in the UAC as well get you used to the travel yeah yeah definitely a lot of miles in both both conferences now and now Pat for you Captain last year recently named captain again I know that means a big deal for you to kind of be that veteran leader yeah it means a lot um I mean it means everything to be voted by you know my peers my teammates all my friends you know that they can look at me to you know help lead the team in any way that I possibly can you played some other sports as well growing up right tell us about that I did yeah so in high school up played football basketball soccer all growing up through high school and that was pretty much my life so I know like basketball players before they leave a practice some will shoot like a 100 free throws in baseball you'll take like a certain number of BP swings do you do a certain amount of reps per day or or per practice that you want to get in what would be a like a routine that you would do in in practice or or every day for today like for football yeah yeah for like kicking and field goal I mean I don't really set a number on it I think it really depends on like how my body feels for that day like I don't want to go excessive I don't want to like you know out kick myself or you know I don't want to get any work in so I really think it just varies between day-to-day what we have the next day depending on you know the units whether it's kickoff punt whatever we have so I think it it really varies but there's not like a set number of reps that I get and you've also been working a little bit more on punting this year too you uh how's that coming along if the numbers called yeah no it's good um you did in high school right too yeah I puted in high school I mean I backed up Jeremy two years ago um so I backed him up back to Phil up when he was here my first year here had one punt I think it's probably the scariest moment of my life because I'd never done it in college but I mean yeah no I enjoy it so and you were talking a little bit about that scoring record and for a team that's been so successful like Eastern Kentucky has in the past and and and knowing that that is a possibility for you that I'm sure that means a little bit to you yeah know it means a lot um definitely going on my fourth season here I mean just to you know try to Fathom like in my head being up you know in the leaderboards with you know a lot of the greats that have come from you know this University this this program it it would just be a great honor to be up there and I've always said if you're in the record books it's more than likely a good thing when you see your name throughout all all the history it can either go one or two ways really good or really bad but more times than not it's really good now all three have graduated with your undergrad correct right what what was it in sports management sports management uh general study okay sports management sports management hey we got three sports management on on here I know yeah you sports management I am a Sports Management yeah 2012 all right 2012 yeah there we go so I I'm sure each one of you take want to take football to the highest level it can take you but is there a backup plan for you all business you know business business ownership business CEO on entrepreneurship all that type of stuff so like open your own business one day absolutely what are you going to sell clothes so I actually do meet my brother's own a clothing brand right now C3 Sports you know just go get at it you know what I'm saying Link in the bio get a get a little plug in there but yeah just we sell all type of Sporting Goods very cool that's awesome you're going to have to open up a business here in Richmond absolutely look we going to find a way there's several places over in Richmond you can you can build something most down what about you all yeah I think similar to him just you know business I'm getting my NBA right now so you know obviously want to do something with business as well even if I'm playing still or not like I want to you know maybe open up like a training facility or something like that I feel like that would be cool yeah that's really cool yeah I want to go more like the sports Administration side so I want to go be athletic director hopefully in college so that's where I want to be it's all a very cool path so what would you say do you all have a game day routine that you like to do on Saturday does it varry when you're on the road as opposed to here at home I mean I think it varies for me like for me if it's a home game it's Duncan every morning okay doesn't matter when Thomas bowling was here uh we'd come for we'd have like breakfast I'd always stop at stop at Duncan get my coffee get two Donuts one for me one for him did that for three years so that'll be a little bit of a change not having him here to do that for home games there's several people on the uh athletic Administration side that like Duncan as well okay okay I'll keep that mind yeah but then in away games it's coffee yeah it's got to be coffee what if it what if like the hotel is close to a Duncan you walk in there no no all right uh yeah me I don't really have like a a big routine just you know get a good night sleep the night before uh and then you know wake up I like being relaxed you know listening to like calmer music and then you know I feel like once I get my prayer and I'm ready to go just get my it's the biggest part just get my prayer and and I'm ready to play yeah pretty much same thing you know pre pre-stress before you know our actual stress routine you know and then uh try to enter The End Zone in as many ways as possible before the game starts so you know just visualize myself getting into the end zone scoring points you know visualizing myself having those big runs those big plays so that's really my game day routine and to have a successful team there needs to be there needs to be obviously be chemistry and you need to kind of let things be loose a little bit what's the chemistry like I know we kind of touched on it with the newcomers chemistry like outside the the lines there do position groups go out to eat for each other or what do you all do to kind of keep that Bond close I think everybody that's one thing I did notice about our team this year is that everybody is able to hang out with everybody like just there's no set you might be one set day you might see four different position groups or four people from different position groups hanging out with each other and it's just I mean we kind of just keep that rolling you know just whoever wants to hang out with each other at that moment will hang out with each other it's not any like forced hangout sessions no forced dinners or nothing like that but everybody has that love for everybody to where we can all be cordial around everybody and you know just have a good time regardless and and I'll let you guys chip in here in a little bit uh but I'm sure you all have been on teams that where that's not been the case right absolutely for sure yeah yall have anything you want to add to that oh yeah I mean yeah I feel like everyone kind of hangs out with each other you know no matter it's not really by position group it's not really clicks it's kind of just you know whoever is free you know you hang out hang out at the house you know play the game even you know little things like you know me and Josh we send each other a lot of like funny videos or something we'll see on Instagram or Tik Tok you know so just that with like different players on the team too just you know a bunch of little stuff yeah no I mean everybody hangs out with everybody piggy back in them everybody does I mean I know every position group has their own little thing that you know you hang out maybe a tad bit more here or there but I mean as a whole it's just a big mesh of everybody Matt you excited to hand the ball off to this guy right here to go yeah definitely yeah I mean I give him a lot of PR he's made my job a lot easier you know the other day in practice there was you know a pressure look and he's like hey you know next time you could move me on the other side and make it easier to pick it up so you know just having a guy like him who can make plays and you know he's also you know a student of the game it makes my job easier just just having him next to me in the backfield biggest prankster on the team Jem Ward I'm about to say it got to be it got to be that man a troll Master man he's throwing ice at me every practice when we have our little break he's throwing ice and just yeah he's definitely prankster yeah he's funny guy though it got to be him take us back to your pre EKU days and how you ultimately wound up here at EKU what was that like for you I know it's going to be different for each one of you yeah I mean coming out of the port uh you know I got recruited by a couple schools and you know just seeing like I said earlier you know the success the offense had you know especially Parker the quarterback he had a lot of success that intrigued me as well and then just seeing the players they had back and then you know when I came here on my visit just seeing you know the facilities like you know we got a Players Lounge Xbox PlayStation 5 ping pong table you know like not a lot of FCS schools are doing that so you know you see like that the you know the schools invested in the program as well so it's like you know this is you know the football teams had success and then you know the schools invested to it so you know it was definitely intriguing to come here yeah you know just pick back up what he said like just seeing facilities coming from a FBS school um we have a lot of you know similar facilities right here like a the basketball the the arcade games the ping pong the Xbox PlayStation areas you know just seeing all that type of stuff really really showed me like how how much it means to you know our organization to make sure that our our players are comfortable and uh that's that's one thing I was looking for just coming out of the portal was how easy can I incorporate and how comfortable can I get in a system in an organization around the people that I can hang around you know what I mean without having like I don't have to be myself you know what I mean so that's really was a huge thing for me and that's all I ultimately chose to come to EKU yeah I mean a a lot like Josh coming from FBS program um I mean there's so many similarities that I mean you just wouldn't expect to have at a FCS program that we do here which is just I mean speaks miles about you know this program this coaching staff and how much they genuinely care about us like I mean coming from their FBS you eat all the time there's food always available you know that's not always the case at FCS schools but I mean here that's probably one of the top three priorities I mean they have like they make sure that we're fed 247 and I think that's one thing that's stands out above a lot of others and it's run a lot as much as you can this FCS program is run a lot like an FPS program absolutely for sure definitely what's the go-to video game right now Xbox or p ps probably college football right now everybody on that college football B everybody is you know the new Madden came out I don't I don't think I've seen anybody really playing that new Madden it's really been majority college football right now college football for the most part for sure what actor or movie character would you want to play you in a movie or
