Texas A&M Aggies College Football Media Day Quote, 07/21/2022

On the LSU rivalry:

It is always a great game when we play them. It is a great feeling no matter if we are going to their stadium or if they are coming to us. You know that when we get together it is going to be a very intense game. Everyone is excited about that game. When we step on the field to play LSU, it is always very hyped, and you just cannot shake that feeling.

On the upcoming season:

The goal for this team is to compete for the National Championship. Nothing has changed. We know our standard. Our standard is to be the best that we can be each and every day. We want to rise to the occasion, especially when the lights are the brightest. We just want to rise up this season.

On the offensive line this season:

I just want to see aggressiveness and a dedication to not allow our quarterback to get hit. That is how the old-school offensive lines worked. Our coaches are trying to engrain in us that nobody will touch the quarterback. We want to create movement on the line and just have the mentality of an old-school offensive line. I love that mentality because it lets everyone know what kind of offensive line you are from the start.

On finishing games strong this season:

We learned last season that we must prepare more on playing a complete four quarters of football. We know what we did wrong, and we know what we will have to do to be successful this season. That is the best part about it. We are going to take that work into the season and play our hardest every single game. We are going to leave no doubts and give it all that we have on the field.
