someone start to realize that they're pretty good in football to think about color of football play at the college level as a freshman year in high school senior year what did you start seeing that you are really good at football where i think  token while i was there getting that football thing going on i got a chance to focus on some great and my second year i was better i like a two point was a two point three two point four was no whole lot better but it was better than what it was  nobody wants a dummy here as quiet as a cap and i said lightly but you know grazier better so now oregon is looking at you by your second year how does oregon get into the picture and what are they looking for in football players so it was a great experience for me knowing that yeah so so what do you look for in a football player you know there are a lot of parents out there and their kids are out there they want to play football at the college level what are they looking for at the college level well actually they're looking for classroom in the books you know you have an opportunity to be a phenomenal football player because football players i'm a he didn't have grew you know then i grew up in voodoo you know there may be you know and anybody can be a football player big big you know big leagues have a say in a lot of talent lot of guys going to the pros so i think you know if i do pretty well you know and keep it and keep in the classroom i may have a shot you know and so lo and behold you know i can't do what  can remember of how long it takes what's the process that you're going through throughout the whole year like do you get to school in july do you start working out as soon as to why hits is it september  you know what your workout schedule what happens all the way until you do you end up finishing the football season is that all year round type of thing what football season now this is an all year long thing you know you you can participate to fo we practiced football season but one of the college it was different you know you had spring ball we had to be ready for that then you had some one time you had a little bit time off so but when you came back from summer break you had to be ready because seasonal start so that has it is all year your they let you go because if you know i think your books you can help us you know and lot of his kids get suspended now because they failed a class or they they didn't do well on the academic part so therefore they don't get a chance to play well that's a big question that the families usually have as you know is it all about just football and there is no there is no classes or do the coaches do tell you you know you go to class and they give you tutors and i try to stuff what's your take on that whole thing well i table but the other stuff i couldn't get it took me fifteen years after i finished plan to get my degree because i couldn't finish algebra and but i wanted i want to see this tutor early in the morning before class head you know they're very strong and i do require me i don't know about any other school but i know i was a they made sure that we took a the books and they if anybody needed to did you go get it did they get you today make sure you went to the class and you saw the tutor because again if you don't take it this we can count on your salary yeah you know and we can tell you to play so if you don't take a year part two we can do what we needed now there's a school handle scholarships as well so everybody on the team is  for scholarship they pay for everything but i couldn't have a job then right you know i couldn't do anything and that's just that's kind of that's a hard point because you know you find a lot of kids going to school to drive a nice car they got all this i had a bike because he was trying to get a little grazing and how he did what he did but it was something to the chili cared about the student athlete and i had a blast man and i'm grateful to have met some people my life and i still in my life because it was something that i to make sure the super right and they put also together to make sure they had the right suit and so now you you go through the preseason and i've been told over over the years that getting on the kind of stuff and but you have to take it because you're being criticize just to be who you are and is not none bad at this test the way it is me coaches coach and players play and i say the process of going through the two  me because i've been one if for so long yeah you know and it's like a song i've been waiting for so long happens when it when it happens it's not like it's like nothing else i may have had a lot of things i wanted christmas came great day to be alive what is that all about well actually is really is really motivation i'm always excited i don't know if you could throw him out on pounds out of my sight man i mean i've been like this for so have a tendency to contact a lot of things will be good bad or different i've been through it all i says for stories about the things you go through as a ballplayer as someone trying to get you to trust them to do something and  come their way but because of it it made me a better person and all i wanted to do since then was to help somebody else you know in my my my measure there is hope and hope there for help and other never talk about football because it's not about football unless is that something i've done and something i did but now i can i hope you know that yourself to help somebody else is like pay it forward you know i saw the movie was a little kid and i mean me every day who did it be a life yeah you know it's motivation for me and i asked one time who do you think motivates to motivate you know those people who come in it's great people come and it's great because life you started as a junior in high school figuring all this stuff out when your mom and dad involved in any of that stuff my mom was my biggest hero my  go to work but you know my dad he was always supportive way as i was so we're coming to the end of our show usually what i asked my guess is what advice you want to give to the moms and dads out there that their sons are know but if he if he enjoys doing something this will happen to me i enjoy playing football for walking up the streets and this you know if i was a play football what would i have done what would i be i can say i was a bad kid but if i wasn't doing
