Wake Forest Demon Deacons College Football Media Day Quote, 07/22/2021

You had a great 2020, now you’re back. What are you looking to build on in your own game?

I think the main thing is getting the guys in the room going, getting Ke’Shawn going. It’s not more so about me. I’m going to go hard, I’m going to do what I have to do.

I think I have to be that type of leader to get those younger guys going. It’s just going to be I’m going to have to prepare younger guys to get ready.

This offense, the attack is a predicated on the zone read, even the delayed zone read. Receivers have made so much noise at Wake Forest. What makes this such a dynamic offense for receivers?

I think it starts with Coach Higgins. He does a great job of preparing us for games. He does a great job for preparing us for practice. We go over defenses. He does a good job of breaking down things, getting us to understand.

He just does a great job position-wise, working at our craft. Then we also keep each other going. We keep each other motivated. We keep each other prepared. I think as our unit at Wake Forest, as a wide receiver unit, we have a good unit going, we have great coaches behind us.

What have you seen out of Sam over this off-season, his development and leadership?

Sam is a great guy. I mean, he came back after the bowl game just with his feet down on the pedal, man. He hasn’t stopped since. He’s handled it well. You know what I’m saying? He’s a great leader. He’s one of our best leaders on the offense. He keeps guys going, keeps guys motivated, accountability. He’s very consistent. Sam is going to get after it.
