What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“One of the things that made us successful throughout the year was our offense.

Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“I am okay with how I played as a sophomore but I didn’t meet the standard I put myself at. Coming into week 4 I broke a bone in the base of my thumb and it kind of impacted me for the rest of the season. With having a cast on I wasn’t able to play receiver or play at my best on defense so I feel like I definitely would have benefited my team more than I did but I will come better than ever next year.”

“I always see areas in which I can improve but overall I feel that I have had a very productive season. I feel my route running, blocking, and speed have improved from last year. I see a lot of double and triple teams and my size and athleticism has allowed me to still go up and get the ball even with that type of coverage.”

How do you feel your team has played? I

Iowa has also been great to work with and I have enjoyed talking to coach Hodge and was honored that he came to watch one of my games live.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
