On if he’s a Cowboys fan:
“I lived in Plano my whole life and I played in the Cowboys stadium growing up, so yeah, growing up I was a Cowboys fan.”
On going to Boise State:
“It’s pretty simple, shoot. No school from Texas offered me a scholarship, not one, out of high school. At the time Boise State, they were highly ranked in the nation and I loved my running back coach and I felt really strongly about Boise State. So with no Texas schools offering me and Boise State being my best offer it was like my dad said, going where you’re wanted, not where you want to go. I think I made the right decision.”
On if he’s talked to Demarcus Lawrence:
“Yeah me and (Demarcus) talk and me and Tyrone Crawford talk a lot as well. That’s like my big brother. I was a freshman when he was a senior. He was a great mentor for me and me and him (have conversations) all the time.”
On where he thinks he might go in the draft:
“I’ve heard from late one to the third round. I don’t know what’s going to happen come draft day because you might think you’re slotted one place and somebody might make a trade and the whole draft board gets flipped up, so I’m just excited to see how everything plays out.”
