Florida State Seminoles College Football Pregame Quote, 12/28/2023

On the team’s many opt-outs:

We just all we believe in each other and that no matter who we got (playing), we know who we are and we know what we can do. No matter who is on the field and who we’re playing, it’s all about us. So just understanding that (head coach Mike Norvell) trusts us and that we know we believe in each other to win the game.

On defending against Georgia:

Just little things when it comes to expanding the right gap and having the right eyes, different things and technique. No matter what offensively we have keys with stopping the run and stopping the pass – those are the main things you do playing defense. Everybody going their job and playing as one will help us get the victory.

On why he decided to play in the game:

It was all about the young guys and being here to support them. They have an opportunity to play in the game as well whereas early in the season they didn’t get to play as much. (I wanted to) be there for them with an understanding that we still have to work. It may not be the best situation, but they have an opportunity to take advantage of and have fun… I wanted to be there for the guys.
