The way he interacts with outside members of our community—especially his work with kids in the community—is truly amazing. His overall work in the community is second to none among our players. He truly has enjoyed the years that he has had here at Florida State and has been a great leader and ambassador for our sport and this university. He is a guy that is looked up to by all of his teammates by the way he conducts himself both on and off the field.”
