On missing South Carolina:
"Of course I miss it. I miss being around my teammates and my brothers and having a good time."
On his new football career:
"It's like a business but I'm still out here having fun. It's quite an experience to be around all these good football players. I'm just enjoying the experience."
On playing in front of a bunch of scouts:
"It ain't nerve wracking.. It's just part of the life. I chose this life so it comes with the territory."
On the competition:
"The competition is real good, I'm just trying to work harder than everybody."
On his draft status:
"I'll find out on April 26th or April 27th if my name gets called. It's something I've been working for my whole life. It's like a dream come true."
On his goals for the week:
"Just to get better. The football players are tremendously talented, it's just an opportunity for me to get better."
On what he is most excited about:
"I look forward to practice. I love football. I've always loved practice."
On something about him off the field:
"I'm a people person. I like making friends, I like having a lot of friends. I've already made a lot of friends. Everybody I come across, I just try and shake their hand and make new friends."
