Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?

Coming into my final season my main goal was to be better then I was last year in every aspect. I accomplished that and became a totally different player. I set a goal to start every game and learn how to play each position on the line. I decided to stay at school all summer and devoted my time to make my goals possible. I watched tons of film, stayed in the weight room, improved running, worked on my footwork, technique and became a better leader.
