What was your ‘welcome to college football' moment?
The first practice here at Syracuse over at Coyne Field, the whistle blew, everybody went running in different directions and I had no clue where to go. That's when I knew I was playing college football when I was this small.
What is your favorite part about playing the fullback position?
The blue-collar part about it. You don't get much recognition and I kind of like being behind the scenes and just playing my role as best I can.
Do you have a favorite play from your career?
The whole Louisville game was pretty good – I couldn't site a specific run or pass because there were so many.
What Syracuse University class has taught you the most?
I took a religion class called Christianity Theological Perspective – it was pretty cool.
Who in your life has given you the most valuable ‘life lesson’?
I have a good role model in my father. He's always worked hard and I've always tried to emulate him.
Five years after graduating from Syracuse I will be …
Hopefully in the NFL, but, after that, maybe trying to get into some sort of physical training or something to that extent.
Advice to first-year teammates?
Stay the course. Don't get down on yourself if things get too hard and always look to the next because it's always gonna get better.

Are you really messy or are you a clean freak?
I have an off-campus apartment with my wife, so that's nice and clean.
