how you kind of approach this Camp well I I feel like everybody in running back room's approaches to play like they want to start of course I want to be the starting Ro I'm not going to be mad if I'm not I'm just here to do what I got to do and do my best ability and if I start as up to coach at the end of the day I got to just do what I got to do every single day I'm out here asked how was it that you didn't have any offers High School how did you fly so far way I feel like I was just in a bad area in North Las Vegas Nevada uh for my most majority school is just like nobody gets recruited out of there really and then I ended up transferring to Arizona just I just got Overlook and just but everything happened for a reason man I'm here now so I'm I I I'm not I'm just I'm happy for what happened so I'm I'm okay with I was going to ask you have a trip on your show yeah of course I do but everything happened for a reason in my eyes so if maybe I would have got recruiting and stuff wouldn't have planned out like it did so I'm happy for what Happ you seem to be a guy that's willing to bed on yourself right like Oklahoma coming here when you didn't know there's no guarantee is that kind of how you always been yes sir just I feel like if you don't believe in yourself who will so that's what I go by but every day and just stay true to yourself and everything's going to work out how would you describe the death in this running back room I know you thought you said it was very talented heading into camp but now going through Camp how would you describe it same thing but I got just a harp on being physical this whole runningback group is physical is can be from the lightest guy to the heaviest guy where you can put anybody in their P probably going to Pro but D line Pro but safety Corner the same way is just everybody's physicality and the mentality is is different this Camp T what do you like about those two back sets we SE in coach on Saturday just getting as many of you guys out there as they can man I love because we can we can just throw anybody and we can throw J acre and Darion in there Darion can do crazy stuff out the back field Jags can block well he also can do crazy stuff out the back field so it's just like it makes it hard for the defense especially when you got guys that can do both guys that's in back can catch the ball both can block both to run the ball so you got to anticipate everything coming out from everywhere how's this running back room compared to other running back room you've been in I'm going take my guys over any other anybody else that's all I got to say about that I'm going take my guys over anybody else youis that reac I mean transport is kind of kind of crazy nowadays anybody can reach out any given day so it was like yeah yeah I had yeah it was it was a surprise but are so so crazy that anything can happen so it was a surprise but not at the same time yeah I was real familiar with the running back oh yeah most definitely how do you kind of view your role as pass blocker it's not something maybe you have been ask to do a t your career in the past just they've seen you do pretty good job so far taking on linebackers and stuff so how do you kind of view that role yeah last year I kind of got was getting my feet wet in my first year really getting a lot a lot of snaps last year uh getting a hang of it but this year we really been coach really been harping on it getting on me about it and just affecting my craft and now I feel great now I have fun doing it so it's it's fun now I like throwing up Lineback especially the a it's fun here how you Services now the food is great uh I can almost eat pasta every day the pasta is amazing uh but they they are taking good care of us here we get off the field uh put good stuff in our body they making it on the spot and it's it's great what's your favorite now we had like a a barbecue chicken sandwich that was probably the best I I ate like three of those I Ain lot that was probably the best but POS right behind that though proba guys here that are complaining that you have to come to a division three school for training camp and you play at Junior College is just I mean probably doesn't matter to you is that safe to say or yeah before before I got here guys kind of saying it was going to be like rough but to me it's it's basically same I mean just football at the end of the day like it's kind of for people that have like girlfriends and of course I miss my family and whatnot but at the end of the day is it's two weeks to really lock in with the team I feel like it's a better Advantage for us cuz we don't have nothing else but the team so we get outside of football we got to talk to our teammates bond with our teammates so it's like give us advantage and I I kind of like it when you look at the team you know like every running back on the roster is talented everybody has had their as I experienced in the past what do you think the hierarchy will actually come down to like how do you think the coaches will actually decide you know like like play like in my mind that's the hardest we got the hardest group to determine that cuz it's like certain schools only travel four backs unless you like special Team guys I don't I don't know how they're going to do that that's that's the my biggest thing I don't know how they going to break that down maybe they throw people on special team so they can try I don't know but we got we got nine guys that can so it's like to me that's going to be the hardest decision they got to make so that's really I'm curious just like you are I'm same way I go back to your decision to go to Oklahoma in the first place um you had options right why why go walk on there of all places that's a great school but why go there and not another option what what Drew you there in the first place uh so I was I did like a semester at Junior College had a great season how had like smaller schools like Mountain West schools reaching out and I kind of was getting impatient cuz I was an older guy as a freshman I was like what 20 as a freshman CU I took some years off uh After High School and I was just like the first big school that really reached out to me and I got a real good friend family friend rre Stevenson that played there uh did the same thing me went jco in Oklahoma he just told me that would be a great fit for me and then running back coach there Marco told me I just got to earn my earn my spot uh walk he said I got walk he really likes how I play just got to ear my spot and I just better on myself that right old are you now 23 so I know you been asked about Darion and are they going to you asking for advice like how are they as first two players like first few months of the program how are they go are they going to the class when asking for help yeah them boys are just taking it all espec G too Gideon too uh all three of them guys are just uh backing on the vets and coach of course but yeah Dar ask a lot of questions but that's a good thing uh he he's just a guy that likes to just likes to ask questions to me I I like to ask questions as a young guy too I'm a vet now so I love to uh give back my knowledge to them and they take it right in
