On the size of Clemson wideouts…

“They have a very big and physical set of wideouts, so we are looking forward to that.  We are planning on using our size and ability to just match and play these receivers the best we can.”

On Clemson wide receiver core…

“Me being a big DB, I’ve always loved going against bigger receivers.  Being a big DB, we like matching up with bigger people.  Them being big and physical and us having big and physical corners too will make it a fun game.”

On secondary…

“As a group, I feel like we are ready.  We’ve been working and grinding and preparing ourselves to be the best we can be this season.  I feel like the hard work in practice and dedication will all pay off in due time.”

On injury concerns this preseason… 

“I haven’t any injury at all, I’ve been practicing like everybody else. 100% just like everybody else, just working and trying to get better leading up to the game.” 

On Clemson’s run game… 

“It’s just a normal game, pretty much for an inside linebacker. It may be more to do with the tasks that I have to do. Coming to Charlotte this week, going against Clemson, but I just have to have my eyes in the right place and everything else will play out for itself.” 

On the impact of Jordan Davis in the front seven… 

“He plays a huge factor, I would say, just how big he is and how he can get off blocks and all of that. Especially for me, he makes things way easier for me by him just lining up in front of me. So, whenever JD is in front of me, I don’t have too much to worry about, to be honest.”
