“Man, it's been a ride at JUCO. ..just playing in the Kansas Jayhawk Conference. I feel like it's the SEC at the junior college level... ...playing the best of the best every week. I think that just helps prepare guys who are trying to get to that next level.”
“I think it's the greats that played before me that motivated me to continue playing football… It's a lot easier, I feel like, for us because of all the hard work that the guys that have been there and that have been here that they've already done for us.”
“A lesson that I learned from Ridge is that you get out what you put in. I wasn't really at first putting up good level numbers to get an opportunity and I started working hard and staying after practice... …keep working hard and doing extra you separate yourself from others.”
“I feel like Allen was the best opportunity for me to play early and not sit out. Coach Teddy Keaton kept it real with me. He told me that we will be on ESPN; which we are. …that we will be able to compete in the SIAC. We have. It's definitely been what I expected so far."
"What keeps me going? My motivation and inspiration is definitely the goal. I feel like everybody has the main goal of going to the NFL, but I don't think that's what keeps me motivated…
What really motivates me is to want to succeed.. just wanting to be the best in the sport."
