Ole Miss Rebels College Football Media Day Quote, 07/18/2022

On the injury: 

I’m good now, blessed to be back on the field. It’s always frustrating having an injury because you know you work hard all season. It was kind of hard being out because it was right before the Alabama game. We had been looking forward to it all season. I had to put my head down and just pray about it. I knew God was going to put me back on the rightpath and get me healthy.

On what it’s like to be a receiver for Kiffin and the SEC:

It’s a blessing to be a receiver for Coach Kiffin. His offense ‚Äì usually you just have to play fast. You have to be ready for a change every other drive. He’s always cooking something up. You have to be ready as a receiver. In the SEC, you just have to be detailed. Everybody has talent in the SEC. We’re the best conference in the country. You have to make sure your techniques are right and make sure you’re in the right position at the right time. Nothing
comes easy in the SEC.

On being the top returning receiver and his motivation:

It’s definitely something I’m ready to fulfill. We had a lot of great receivers in the years before me, I’m ready to take over the leadership spot in the receiving room, lead by example and show all the younger guys how it’s supposed to be done.

On being from Brandon, Mississippi and being here at SEC Media Days:

It’s a blessing to be here. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of as a kid especially being from Brandon because the state of Mississippi is a slept-on state, so it’s always a blessing to be in the world I am in. I’m just trying to be an inspiration to the kids. This year, we are trying to be the best team as possible.

On the quarterback battle right now at Ole Miss:

It’s a good battle. You know, you have Jaxson [Dart] and Luke [Altmyer] ‚Äì both of them are young quarterbacks. Both of them have been working pretty hard as a whole all offseason. It’s always a blessing to have two quarterbacks instead of one. You have two people you can depend on. I can get my chemistry down with them all offseason, so whoever coach picks at the end of Fall camp, I’ll be behind them. For me, my job doesn’t change. I just have to be open and catch the ball. The goal remains the same.
