SN: You’ve had a lot of positives recently but you’ve also had a negative with the death of your aunt. How did you manage the grieving along with the preparation and getting ready for such a big moment in your life?I think it puts everything in perspective, honestly, when something like that happens and you lose someone that you’re so close to.
Other than when he’s in treatment he’s been in every meeting. He travels to every away game. He comes to everything for all the home games. Even though he’s not playing he’s still a huge factor to the success of this team. SN: You made some comparisons this week that Grey Cup week being like bowl week when you were back at Tulsa. How are you different now as a player and a person than when you went through that experience as a collegiate athlete?I think I know more of what to expect. I know that’s weird to say as this is my first experience ever being at a Grey Cup. But in life you try to draw similarities from things that you’ve experienced, especially when you’re in uncomfortable situations.
