Nebraska Defensive Back
Postgame Quotes vs. Iowa (Nov. 24, 2023)
Iowa 13, Nebraska 10

On the back and forth playing with an emotional ending
“In those games it’s just like you don’t know what’s going to come. You just try to be in the moment of things. To be honest when you see certain things happen on the field you see your defense run out there. No matter what happens it’s a lot of emotions out there. Just being in the moment of things. In the game I wasn’t thinking about the beginning of the game or the end of the game. I’m just thinking about that moment. We had blocked a lot of their field goals and I thought we we’re going to do it again.” 

On the second half mentality and what the difference was
“Obviously when you see a team doing things you have to adjust to them during the game. When we were at half time we saw what was going on, we adjusted, we saw what they’re doing with their tight ends and we’re adjusting during half time. We talked to each other and communicated. The whole defense did, but specifically with the secondary.” 

On how he’s leaving the program and what foundation he thinks he is leaving behind
“Yeah, I want to say this, it really is Coach Rhule. It is us but man just the type of person, man and coach he is. I’m excited to see what Nebraska is going to be like. I can’t wait to see him, even the younger guys and how everything is going. When we had gotten the new coaching staff a lot of the seniors had to make certain decisions just for themselves and some guys left, some guys went. We bought in, we bought in to what he said and we bought in to what he was saying to us. I think it helped a lot of people and not just on the field. Also off the field. The type of person he is on staff, the type of person he is. He just cares for you. So, I can’t wait to see what Nebraska will look like because this was the start.” 

On how the season went for him personally
“Obviously it sucks to lose. I’m a senior and it’s my last game. I want to see the positives. I had fun all season. Despite all of the losses, obviously losing is not fun. I had fun all year, everyday at practice, I had fun. I had fun in meetings, I had fun being around the guys. The guys are just great people to be around. I’m happy to have them going on in life and just knowing them. I think I just love them.”
