Yeah, now that was, that was a big topic. I had a lot of, had a lot of, lot of suggestions, a lot of input I told everyone just, I had, I had uh I haven’t, so hopefully I’m making more proud. I hope so, because there was a lot of opinions that went into probably, so people are gonna talk about a Heisman moment, but when you look back on this season, whether it’s the game, but it’s going to get their moment in the season that you told yourself around, I could be one of the best players in the country and following um I want to say it’s a specific moment um you know, you kinda have to, you know, in those situations um and whenever adversity hits you, you have to believe that you have to have that faith in yourself, that faith in your team um and really that comes from, you know, that comes from the work that, you know, we all put in the off season, that comes from how we all grow um come together during practices and during games um so I want to say it’s a specific moments where I had it developed and if it’s kind of something that I always had and you kind of learn for yourself and to the team just how you work it, how you compete and obviously known in there, you’re known for being a very quiet person, but at the moment, what do you want that championship secured Alabama spot in the playoff part contains the most? Uh yeah, I mean that that’s, you know, that’s definitely very emotional moment. You know, it’s uh you just have to make sure that, you know, you have to kind of make sure that those emotions are are tempered and you got to really understand the circumstances. Um you know, when you’re playing for me um you know, I feel like I, I just operate the best when I can kind of take those emotions and be calm, but you know, after the game, when the time is over, Um you know, when you get that that time, the locker room to where you know, you get to celebrate a little bit of rejoice um during those 24 hours, directly after the game, it’s always fun and those are moments that you never forget. So after the game, that’s kind of when it’s time to let those emotions go. So it was definitely, it’s definitely great to have those, you know, kinda have one of those moments after the game and um you know, we want to, we have a lot of hard work and work ahead of us to try to have more of those women’s. It was the key to the 20 round between Georgia. Great. I haven’t spoken to coach balancing. Yeah, there are two others at and yeah, and Melanie, yeah, there are two others at a modern day, which is, was crazy. But yeah, it was really just, I felt like how we, how we work, how we approached, um, you know, how we approach practice, how we approach uh, you know, each day and kind of the mindset we took and things really took it personally. Um, when we were challenging, that was at hand and um, you know, we stepped up to the plate and that was all of us and how we worked and the coach is doing a great job, putting us in a position to be successful. Um, so I think that was kind of the biggest thing and I, yeah, I talked to uh, talked to coach, although he’s wishing me luck and uh, a ton of love for cultural, oh those, those are great years for me. So it’s been great to kind of do what I can to try to continue that legacy. It today. You talked a little bit about your dad a turnover. What would you be like without him helping you through your college high school? Tell me a little bit about destroying. Yeah, I couldn’t imagine my dad’s been someone who’s obviously been around since thinking don’t always have my back and um you know, it’s someone I talked to uh consistently not just about football and not just for advice about really any any and everything. Um we’ll talk about it and have a conversation about, so you know, obviously been um my parents been the biggest mentors in my life and the biggest reason why I am, who I am, so um I couldn’t even imagine who I’d be without my dad. Mhm They’re gonna happen tonight at that moment. Um it’s funny all the advice I’ve done from back, especially um it’s all been about not not focusing too much on your words and you know, making sure that the focus stays on, you know, on football and you know, that’s definitely something that’s on par with, with Alabama part of myself um just to, you know, just to enjoy the moment and have fun, but also, you know, just remember the important stuff to keep it like that, you know, that’s kind of something that, you know, you need to hear and something something that my mind set set actually, so that’s kind of the biggest thing that stands out to me in a moment. Uh yeah, I think it was, it was probably probably the, cause game, they say we did that earlier today and you know, Kenny just got here today, so that was the first, today was the first day that we were all, all four of us were together. So it was all of us in the same, you know, all of us were able to, you know, do together and it was, it was a really cool atmosphere. It was cause game day and then, you know, they’re the army and navy fans in the background and being on there with the set and the cast is a really fun experience. So that was really fun moment for that rice. We talked yesterday, Jamison Wilson’s kind of impact he’s had, but specifically on your offense and given the guys that you lost last year, how does that change things for you guys and see where you’re, yeah, gaming has been huge for us. Um, he’s been huge. Um, as far as, you know, obviously production on the field and uh, the things that he breaches to our offense and the dimensions and the stuff that he unlocks or, you know, it’s been huge for us and it’s productivity, but also it’s a lot that he brings. Um, you know, not just on Saturdays, but you know, throughout the week, he brings so much juice to practice and so much energy. Um, you know, he’s someone that, it’s always, oh a, if there’s, you know, there’s never a dull moment, which, you know, he’s always going to make sure that we’re all point who is Boys going going hard and fast and he’s always giving 110%. So we need that. You know that when you have someone like that who’s energy and effort really shines like it does it rubs off on everybody. So he’s been really ensure our success is you’d be surprised a little bit. Um you know, I guess you could say so just because I didn’t know him that well before, so I didn’t know what to expect something. I didn’t know uh you know when he, when he had transferred I looked up, you know, hooked up, you know, try to do some research about of them, but I didn’t know what to expect. And you know when I first met him it was it was carried out article worker was how you know how how cool he was to be around, how easy was it working, you know, just to see examples of that to see how it all worked out, how it played out.
