I don't do social media. I'm not looking to get a death threat every time I miss a field goal. I'm just not going to put myself through that.

I threw a good fastball and changeup, but a below-average curveball.

If I'm throwing a no-hitter and someone says, 'Hey, you've got a no-hitter,' obviously I'd be like, 'Yeah, I know.' I just try to be humble. I don't like to talk about myself.

Two to four classes each offseason - just trying to chip away. There are times when I think, 'Man, I don't need to be doing this. Why am I doing this to myself?' But to fight through that and come out and make a good grade, it feels worth it. Hopefully something good comes out of it one day.
