He said, “I love his energy and his passion to coach; when you meet him, he asks how you are doing, and you have to say that you are amazing or great; those little aspects of him make me think of him as a great coach,” in response to the question of what he appreciated most about coach Ekeler. He adds, “It means a lot; I am just blessed to get this opportunity,” in reference to the pledge. Additionally, he says, “It’s definitely a dream come true; I’ve just prayed for a chance ever since I was a freshman, and I finally have received the chance to play college football.”
