Most inspirational people in your life: I would have to say my parents
Coach Bielema is: he’s a player’s coach. He loves his players, especially his offensive linemen. He takes care of us. He’s very good to us and I look forward to playing for him this year
Hobbies: I really don’t have that many hobbies. I kind of hang out with my friends and I’ll fish occasionally, but I’m not a big-time fisherman. I’ll hang out with my friends when I can. I really enjoy hanging out with the guys and I’ve met a lot of good people here
Dream date: (long pause) That’s a hard one. That’s a really hard one. Are you going to show this to my girlfriend? I probably should say her, but if I had to say anyone that’s a celebrity I would probably say Jennifer Aniston
Favorite meal: would probably be steak and sweet potato
I absolutely will never eat: Lima beans
I’m absolutely scared of: not reaching my potential
The ultimate ladies man on the team: Drew Morgan without a doubt.
Coach Ben Herbert is: intense. He’s an amazing strength coach and an amazing guy and he gets the best out of you
Can’t miss TV show: Game of Thrones
Hidden talent: (long pause) Hidden talent? I played trumpet before. I rode a bull once. I don't there’s much talent with that. It didn't work out very well. I kind of ran out of the gate and he slammed me against the fence. My dad heard about it and wasn’t too happy about it and he said ‘You’re not going to riding a bull again’. Now I would probably break the bull’s back so I won’t be doing that
The most important thing my mom taught me: never give up on yourself
