[su_spacer size=”20″] Who has been your big influence while being a player at Georgia and why? [su_spacer size=”10″] Ron Courson, he treated me like I was his own son and through my many struggles, he kept fighting and encouraging me not to lose hope. [su_spacer size=”40″] Do you have a game that sticks out in your mind as being one of your very best? What made it special? [su_spacer size=”10″] LSU at home in 2013. It was my first season to play and it was one of those high energy games. As a kid, I dreamed of playing between the hedges and it was a surreal moment when we had a curtain call after the game. [su_spacer size=”40″] Who is your greatest role model and why? Sir Thomas Carlyle is my greatest role model. His teachings and philosophies are non-ending to the human race. [su_spacer size=”40″] Do you have a funny story about a fellow offensive lineman you would like to share? [su_spacer size=”10″] Last May, a couple of us went to the water park at lake Lanier. We clearly did not read that the rides had a weight limit and throughout the day we were flying out of the rides because we were too fat. [su_spacer size=”40″] Your go-to meal in Athens, why? [su_spacer size=”10″] Taqueria Del Sol, hands down the best tacos this side of the Mississippi. [su_spacer size=”40″] Your favorite band or song to listen to before games? [su_spacer size=”10″] I’m not a big “pump up” guy before the game. I listen to soft or indie rock. Explosions In The Sky is probably my favorite to listen to. [su_spacer size=”40″] What have you found to be the best way to stay grounded with all the hoopla that surrounds being a Division One football player? [su_spacer size=”10″] You can’t pay attention to the “noise.” I focus on the things we can control and the rest will take care of itself. [su_spacer size=”40″] Besides being an NFL player, what is your dream job and why? [su_spacer size=”10″] I would be a pilot. I started taking flying lessons when I was 15 but I quit the process when I was over half way because of football. My dream was to go to school at Annapolis and fly a fighter jet then fly for delta just like my grandfather.
