Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
In my final season I set three team goals and three personal goals. I wanted to get closer to my teammates, win our conference and win a national title as a team. And for my self I wanted to stay healthy, lead the nation in sacks and be an all American. As a team I would say I got 2/3 done we won our conference got closer but fell short of the National title. It was the same for my personal goals I stayed healthy, got several all American bids but I was third in the nation for sacks.
