Most inspirational people in your life: my father, definitely my father being able to raise all of us. My older brother… like that’s not even his own son, but he’s maintained a steady relationship with him. Him and my grandfather. My grandfather is a spiritual leader in my life. He helped me stay close to God
Coach Bret Bielema is: a great guy. He put me on scholarship and not a lot of people do that. Not a lot of head coaches around the country do that. The respect he has for walk-ons…really increases my respect for him because he rewards people for good work
Hobbies: video games, eating. I mean I may not look like I eat a lot, but I can eat. I like bonding with my siblings too. I have a lot of family. I have five, but there will be a total of five of us up here next year. Older brother is pursuing his Ph.D, I'm a senior (academically), my little sister is a junior, my little brother is a sophomore and is an equipment manager on the football team and my baby sister will be a freshman
Dream date: Rihanna. It has to be Rihanna
Favorite meal: my mom makes the best pepper-jack steak like in the world. I feel like I could go home and eat that right now. Some potatoes. She likes to make green beans. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it right now. I make the Kool-Aid. I like to mix flavors, but I would probably put lemonade mixed with tropical punch or something
I absolutely will never eat: I think I could eat anything. I’m willing to try new things. I like tasting different things
Favorite Coach Paul Rhoads saying: “We’re going to be the hardest working group and smartest group on the field at all times."
I’m absolutely scared of: I don’t think I’m scared of anything. I want to skydive. That’s something I want to do. I don’t think I’m scared of much. Like I said I’m willing to try a lot of new things. Yeah, I’m different
The ultimate ladies man on the team: Brooks. It’s got to be Brooks Ellis. Every woman I see around him is attracted to Brooks
Coach Ben Herbert is: intense. He’s probably the most intense man I’ve met in my life. He’s intense about weight lifting, eating, hydrating, recovery, practicing. Everything. He's the most intense guy I know
Can’t miss TV show: I don’t know. I think I like…probably Sports Center. They play it over, but I feel like I can’t miss it. I have to go watch it. I’ll watch it two times in a row in case I miss a small segment
Hidden talent: I play baseball. I was decent in baseball, but that’s not really hidden. I just stopped playing it my sophomore year because I loved football
My favorite thing about being a Razorback: to represent my family. Being from Arkansas and growing up here it’s something you want to do your whole life and be able to have this jersey on and wear the Razorback. It means the world to me
The most important thing my mom taught me: how to wash clothes because I know a lot of people around here that don’t know how to wash their own clothes. I’ve been doing it since I was in elementary school. She had us washing clothes because there’s so many of us. She didn’t want to wash all of our clothes. She taught us and I found that to be something really valuable
