The past three seasons of Bison football will go down in history as three of
the best. We sat down with eight players who were major contributors to
helping build the dynasty the Bison football team is today.
Have you been able to sit
back and enjoy everything
that is going on around you?
Anything you want to say
about the great fan base
Bison Nation has?
“Not really yet. It’s really
overwhelming right now but
eventually one day I’ll have the time
to take a step back and look back
at everything.”
“They are the best fans in the
nation and without them it would
be tough to accomplish what we
have done over these past few
years.”
Well, take a moment now
and think about what you
accomplished here. How
special is it?
“Thinking about it now, it’s pretty
incredible what we did. I’m grateful
to have awesome teammates and
coaches and to be a part of this
university.”

So why did you choose
to go with the particular
agency that you did to
pursue your NFL dreams?
“They give me the best chance
to play where I want to. I will be
training six days a week. I have
a position coach and I stay at
a house with seven other guys
that have chosen 7 Sports
Group and it’s a nice little beach
house ten minutes away from
where we will be training.”
What will your workout
consist of?
“We will be working out in the
morning, lifting weights and
things like that, then working
with our position coach after.
Time to grind. It doesn’t end.”
