• 0:29
  Speaker 2: way out on the far eastern seaboard of North Carolina,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and he joins us here. First of all, it had
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to feel really good to get that win at BC.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: And you really getting involved in the last three games.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You've been busy, Yes, sir, what walked me through the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: two touchdown passes? What you saw first quarter obviously was
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a big catch and run. And let's do with that first.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: What'd you see in the how'd you get so open?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Oh? So, for one, you know, all we coaches did
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a great job of getting the scheme right a getting
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: certain formations or personnels. We knew that, uh, we would
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: go to our personnel to matches with five to two
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: they go heavy. I ended up seeing the structure just
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: running through, took it high, you know, found the saut
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: spot on his own and old line did a great
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: job giving Joe enough time to find me, and Joe
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: made a great throw and I just.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Did a risk second one. How much of his pump
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: fake took you to get open? Because I know you
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: were in motion on that play as I described, But
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Joe did a little like a little pump fake.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Did that?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Did that help get you open?
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: You know it also helps with you know, the DV
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: having bad eyes and we had a feeling that was
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: going to happen this week, you know, as to watching film,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of film on you know the secondary and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: how bat.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I uh, how bad of os they got.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe's little shimmy got them, got him to bite
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: down some more because he was looking at Joe, which
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: allowed me to just sneek past him and receive my
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: second tourch down.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Coach Moore mentioned with our Adam Jerdino after the game
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: he felt like the way Joe in the passing game
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and the offense was just clicking as a hole through
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the air, that this was a game that you had
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Through the air. How confident is this group?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I mean we knew going into the season the weapons
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that Joe Finnano had in the offensive line that you had,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you guys had the capability of scoring a lot of points.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But to have that trust in your coaching staff to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: win the game through the air, that has to feel
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all It's really all about trusting the plan
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and once you got you know, we had got a
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: lot of great keys all the way around the offense,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and you know we just had a final way to
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: put everything together, you know, being again since the spring,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: just ben in chemistry and stuff. So very very confident
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: when it comes to putting the ball through the air,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: just like we are when it comes to running the ball.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So there's always no doubt whether it's two men in
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it or well that you put the ball out the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: air that we know put.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Points on the ball for the team.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Juice, you're kind of a hybrid, kind of between a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: tight end and a wide receiver.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: What room do you spend more time in?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I'm always in the tight end.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Uh, I haven't been in the receiving room once, but
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I know the receivers coach coach Moore Kashif Moore. He
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: does a great job of, you know, just giving those
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: those tips and reminders. Uh, you know those cast past
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: catching skills and stuff like that just reminded me certain things.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So I do get feedback from the receiver's room, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I spend most of my time in Titan room.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And that's a big tight end room.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: The guys that you have, you might be the smallest
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of the tight ends, and that's not a knock on
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you because of your athleticism. But to see some of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: those big guys like say alex Or or even Lewin,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: some of the younger guys, I mean, that's a big room,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got a very big room, a lot of size,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of depth all the way around.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: You know a lot of young guys in there. Two,

  Speaker 3: then play for a good amount of time. So knowing
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: that he was there and that he has that background
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: and experience. It's helped me maybe more comfortable with choosing Yukon.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna guess juice as a nickname, Yes, yes,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: it is all right. Where did that originate?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: From birth? That was from I was a ten pound baby.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Juicy baby, juice baby. You know, I always had a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: juice bottle with my hand. I always drinking juice like
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that come from childhood.

  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, multi sport athlete growing up? Did you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: play any other sports other than football?
• 5:44

• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I run trick baseball.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: What position centerfield? I caught?

  Speaker 3: I played catcher. I played anywhere in the center field,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I mean outfield.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's tremendous. I like catchers. You got to have a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: certain mentality to be a catcher. Did that help you
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: in any other sports? Like you you be a multi
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: sport athlete. Coaches like that because there's so many different
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: motions for your body and different things that you have
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to do that maybe translate to football.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, catching in center field and a catcher both my
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: hand and out of coordination. As long as tracking the ball,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: you know, like you got to check the ball in
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the center field. You have to track the ball behind
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the plate, just your arness, So it helped with multiple things.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Baseball was one of my favorite sports besides football.
• 6:29
