Obviously you're a quarterback and now You you you start out as a defensive Back and quickly moved quickly moved to To uh Linebacker what what did playing Quarterback how did that help you when It came to transitioning to playing Linebacker and and defense at the College level yeah so what I tell people Is uh like obviously we only got so Complicated in our offensive scheme at Mount ol um for quarterback you know Simple Zone reads you know one high two High safeties and then you kind of know What coverage you're getting or what Matchups you like what routes you like Versus man um but from the flip uh side Of that as a linebacker when we were Dropping in zone coverage and I got a Certain route you know in front of me Like I'm knowing that oh the Quarterback's probably wanting me to Take that drag up there so he can hit The de the Dig behind me you know so Like little things like that in zone Coverage that gave me an advantage um I Understood you know route Concepts what The quarterback's trying to do what Their offense is trying to attack um Little things like that especially in Like you know in the college level you Get to RPO world you know so much more Than high school so um I understood what He was reading um but you know in
Another world like oh I know that you Know when the quarterbacks get pressure In his face he's going to be you know Hesitant to let go of the ball sometimes Or stuff like that so it gave me an Advantage and just just like uh Understanding what the quarterback's Thinking what you know uh passing Concepts they could be trying to do Versus our particular style of defense Like we were a quarters team so I know What kind of Route concepts are going to Be able to beat that so um it was it was Pretty much in the zone passing game is Where I got my Advantage um it's it's really really Interesting that you know you see and You you probably seen this being a Quarterback but you you were very humble Because you played multiple Sports and But I see today so many quarterbacks That like they're so locked in like I Have to play quarterback in college and That's that's the only you know and they Missed the boat because the skill sets Of quarterback lend you to Play any position basically on defense Other than interior defensive line yeah Yeah right the D tackle those are big Huge boys uh but uh you can play tight End you could play wide receiver um some Guys who who are shorter quarterbacks Running quarterbacks can play running Back at the college level um but I see
So many of these guys because like the Seven on seven ccum they're they're all Locked in like if I don't play Quarterback at College like what do I do Uh like what would what advice would you Give quarterbacks as they're going Through this whole entire process I Would probably just say stay open-minded I mean if you really love football and If you really want to play you know you Got to realize that in college football There's only one quarterback that plays On the field and you know a very you Know SL few times you'll get a two Quarterback system but even then the Reps are very limited so if you want to Play as much as possible and if you want To really utilize all of your Athleticism then you got to be Open-minded to play other positions and That's going to ultimately get you on The field faster
