Speaker 3: Good man? Just living the dream, talking some some Brigham

37
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:02,680
football today and everything that's occurring. You know, as you

38
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:05,239
take a step back, I know you're probably still down

39
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,120
there in Provo. I don't know where you're at, what

40
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:12,120
you're doing as you prep for for everything, But it's

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,919
gonna be a difficult transition, isn't it to step away

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,400
from the BYU football family and take your talents to

43
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:18,960
the NFL?

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,879
Speaker 2: No doubt. Yeah. So I'm actually already down in Florida,

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,400
down in Fort Lauderdale, training at a facility down here,

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,000
getting ready for Pro Day in the draft. But I'm

47
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:35,800
staying closely plugged in and connected and love all the

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,759
good that I'm seeing coming out of our program in

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,479
the recent days and have had some great combos with

50
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,879
coach Papinga and coach Kilane over the last week too.

51
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:49,919
Just excited about the future of BYU football.

52
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: Indeed, give us an updates. So from the end of

53
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,120
the bowl game, what has the process been like for you,

54
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,080
what you been doing, what you've been seeing, And obviously

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,599
you're already in Fort Lauderdale training.

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. So after the bowl game, we came, we came back.

57
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,560
My wife and I actually were able to go out

58
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,879
to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans for New Year's

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,840
we I was uh. I was a finalist and was

60
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,599
selected on the All State Good Works Team. So we

61
00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:26,400
were honored at halftime of the Sugar Bowl down in

62
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:30,680
New Orleans, which was really cool experience. Got to meet

63
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,879
the other twenty one players on the Good Works team

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,719
and hear about all the good that they've been doing

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,159
in and in their communities throughout the country. But then

66
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:44,080
after that got back to Provo and just kind of

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,439
tried to get everything in order and get organized, just

68
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,319
working with you know, my agent and figuring out the

69
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,280
best timing for me to to get down here to

70
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:57,879
Florida and start training. So got down here on Sunday

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,800
and started yesterday training down here. Got a couple other

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,520
b y you guys down here with me too. We

73
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:08,360
got Waylin La Poijo and also Isaiah Jada. So it's

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,759
been it's been good to have some some some boys

75
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:13,400
down here with me as well. Love that. Yeah.

76
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: So which which agency did you end up signing with

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560
your agent and and why did you sign with him?

78
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, ended up signing with with David Canter and Ness

79
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,720
mcgraby from Aura Sports Management Group. There they're do a

80
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,279
great job. David's had a lot of success throughout his

81
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:37,759
career representing some other great safeties. Eric Weddle was kind

82
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,160
of the first one who who he had a lot

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,879
of success with, and then he has also represented Daniel

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Sorenson currently represents Zane Anderson and Cole Bishop, so a

85
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,199
lot of great safeties coming out of the city of

86
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,680
Utah where they played their college ball. So he's had

87
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:59,079
great success doing that and just ultimately loved the interactions

88
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,199
that I've had with him, him and all that he

89
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:06,240
you know, promised as far as what he understands about

90
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,439
me as a player and what value I can add

91
00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:12,480
to an NFL organization and in helping paint that picture

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
for you know, the scouts in any GM that would

93
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,160
want to take a chance on me and bring me

94
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:18,800
on to their NFL squad.

95
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:22,519
Speaker 3: You know your game better than anybody. You know your trajectory,

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,800
you know your talent, your potential. As you've conversed with consultants, agents,

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,879
et cetera. What's the feedback that you've been given on

98
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,839
what you need to do next in order to earn

99
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:37,639
yourself an opportunity as a as a draft pick and

100
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:39,560
and or a high priority under atchet free agent.

101
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean for me, obviously, it's a big part

102
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,839
of it is just showing that I can run and

103
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:51,800
play with you know, the speed of the NFL. I

104
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,720
have a lot of great tape and obviously they know

105
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:56,519
that I'm a football player. They know I'm a high

106
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,360
IQ football player as well, so they've seen that in

107
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,839
my tape, my ability to make plays, and now it

108
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,560
just comes down to, you know, what they really evaluate

109
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,079
in a combine setting is just Kenny run? Can he jump?

110
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,000
Is the explosive? Do we think that you know, he

111
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,160
has the speed to play at this level, which I'm

112
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:21,120
confident that I'll be able to do and to show well.

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 3: I remember, I mean this was probably four five years ago.

114
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,439
I got I got some film with you training at

115
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,560
Stroshine looking pretty good with the vertical, with forty time

116
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,639
with everything. What were you testing out at then and

117
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,319
what do you think you can test out at now?

118
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I've I've always kind of excelled in in

119
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,279
this combine setting. I remember at the time when we

120
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,920
were kind of training the five ten five in the shuttle,

121
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,399
I was consistently like in the low four point ones,

122
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:59,839
and then my vertical was right around thirty six inches.

123
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,839
My broad was about you know, ten five ten six,

124
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:08,879
So looking to you know, exceed those numbers just given

125
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,480
you know, I've had five years of good work on

126
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,040
top of that, and then really just you know, kind

127
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,360
of honing in on the thing that they care about

128
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,600
the most, which is which is the forty.

129
00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I remember, like if you were to take

130
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:27,680
one clip from you know, your to showcase your speed

131
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,879
from BYU on tape, what clip would it be and why?

132
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: I think I think there'd be a couple of plays

133
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,120
that you could probably put on there. I think some

134
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,639
of my chase down you know, tackles against Avery Johnson

135
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,879
last year. I think also the chase down from behind

136
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,879
on Garrett Rangell, Loklahoma State quarterback last year. I think

137
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600
the pick six this year, like just kind of really

138
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680
see me get out and run. But those those those

139
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:02,279
chase down plays too, is you really can find another gear.

140
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,279
And you know we have we got good GPS data

141
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:08,199
too on all that stuff from from coach scyl ermine

142
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,720
that they'll be able to to share with scouts and

143
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:12,600
and and people like that.

144
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,759
Speaker 3: The other tape that's really good is your special Teams tape. Man,

145
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,480
I want to say, you know you forced ah a

146
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:24,920
turnover being heads of you utilizing that football like you

147
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,199
but also utilizing your strength right to push a player

148
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,560
defender into the ball and then b WA ends up

149
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,919
recovering it. You know, I know you you ended up

150
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:36,720
focusing more on the defensive side of the ball. Is

151
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:40,120
you you became tenured and proven and a starter. But

152
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:43,799
I remember early on on special teams you making a

153
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,440
huge impact.

154
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,399
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah. I mean that's where I really earned my stripes,

155
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,200
and that was kind of my road to turning a

156
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,559
lot of the coaches trust. And I think what also

157
00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:57,480
led to, you know, switching positions is just being able

158
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,320
to show I could run and tackle well and base

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,840
on special teams. And I mean special teams is a

160
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:06,399
huge part of the league too. Guys make you know,

161
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,639
great careers out of that. And I understand in my

162
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:13,159
career path in the NFL too, it'll likely start as

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,240
more of a special teams role player. And shoot, I'm

164
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:18,720
excited to be able to run down on kickoff again

165
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,639
and and do that stuff that you know I did

166
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,360
starting my career at BUYU and and just remember how

167
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,759
fun that is to to go make plays on those

168
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:29,200
special teams opportunities.

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,639
Speaker 3: Do you ever miss playing wide receiver Tanner?

170
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: I do, and I don't. I just miss having the

171
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,600
ball in my hands multiple times a game. And you

172
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,279
get the ball in your hands in the game, it's

173
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,120
a it's a great feeling.

174
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,519
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. You only got a few of

175
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,840
those this year, but yeah, hey, but those were those

176
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:56,879
were fun and you cemented yourself in Holy war lore

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,480
and it will always be remember high pointing that that

178
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,399
I n t uh mossing the young man, if you will,

179
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:07,840
and uh was that like, give me favorite of her

180
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:11,200
team and then individual while at b YU, give me

181
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,320
a favorite memory, you know from a team standpoint, and

182
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,320
then maybe as a as an individual play or player.

183
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, favorite memory as a team has got to

184
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:27,159
be last year. So twenty twenty four, I guess, I

185
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,799
guess that's two years ago now if we're talking real years.

186
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,639
But season wise, last season up and right cycles just

187
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,960
standing on the sideline, you know, with next to John

188
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,399
Nelson and you know, Blake Mangleson, these guys that came

189
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,559
in with me from day one and just us watching

190
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,039
welfare and you know, trot out there to go kick

191
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,919
the game winning field goal and see that thing go

192
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,320
through the uprights and just celebrating like that was a

193
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,440
huge moment and such a cool way to end that

194
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,480
game and break the break the streak up there in

195
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,799
their states of you know, us not winning for a

196
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,720
long time. So that moment meant a lot to me

197
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,000
and to our team. And then yeah, I'd say for

198
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,000
me the interception this year that you just talked about

199
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:16,879
in the Holy War at Home. You know, that's a

200
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,120
kind of player I've dreamed of making in that game

201
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,600
my whole life. So it was really really amazing to

202
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000
see that come to life and to be a reality.

203
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,639
Speaker 3: Seeing what you accomplished, seeing what by U's accomplished over

204
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,759
the last couple of season eleven to two and twelve

205
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:38,039
and two respectively in top top fifteen finishes. It's truely

206
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,159
remarkable time to be a part of kugarnation and be

207
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,399
a part of the Cougar football family. You see the

208
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:47,240
trajectory and you see what Kiloni's building, and obviously Jay

209
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:49,879
and Genero they head off to Michigan, but Kate Popper's

210
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:53,039
there and much of the staff has retained, not only

211
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,960
defensively but even offensively. What do you think about what

212
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,320
do you ponder about about the future of UAU fotball

213
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,879
going forward with Colonie at the Helm and these coaches

214
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:03,519
being retained.

215
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: Man, I'm just I'm just really excited. I mean, it's

216
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,039
it's it's interesting when you you know, when you play

217
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,919
five years of college football, you start to notice certain

218
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,080
patterns and certain trends across you know, programs, and how

219
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,600
that shapes their success as seasons go on. When you

220
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,519
kind of zoom out and look at that, and I mean,

221
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,279
if you when you look at the amount of success

222
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,440
that we've been able to have over the last two

223
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,840
seasons and what that's done for our recruiting, you know,

224
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,720
landing big time recruits both out of high school, having

225
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:43,039
an incredible recruiting class this year, and putting together really

226
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,120
great portal classes because we've been able to retain so

227
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,279
much of our talent and you know, from a player standpoint,

228
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,879
and so at that point, you know, our portal needs

229
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:58,600
are smaller, you know, more more selective. It's a more

230
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,440
selective approach and the portal and you know, guys want

231
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,120
to come play for a team where they have an

232
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,679
amazing culture, they have an amazing coach, and where they

233
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,000
know they're going to win, and they're gonna you know,

234
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,840
we're gonna have a lot of eyes on us, and

235
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:13,000
they're going to be in an environment where, you know,

236
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,679
if their goal is to play in the NFL, there's

237
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,519
gonna be a lot of eyes at practice at games.

238
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,159
So it's it's become even more of a special destination

239
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:25,080
for any recruit, whether it's out of high school or

240
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,480
out of the portal. And the culture that Kilani has

241
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,000
built is deep rooted and it's you know, the foundation

242
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,120
is very strong, and so they're going to keep building

243
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:39,480
on that and I expect to see the fruits of

244
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,519
that keep keep coming up in the coming seasons and

245
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,320
look forward to a lot more wins and more success

246
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:50,039
for for Kloni and for the boys.

247
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: For some the fact that jay and and Gennaro left,

248
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,360
that was that was that was devastating, right, But it

249
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
seems like, I mean, by you guys a lost city.

250
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:02,840
No one's I mean, look, we obviously there's some good

251
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,559
players that have entered the portal from b y u

252
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,840
H Max, Alfred Tavian, b's lead, Marcus Macanzie. There's a

253
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:09,679
number of defensive players that have entered the portal and

254
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240
they're going elsewhere and they're gonna get more pet It's awesome.

255
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,639
But you know, give me your perspective on h on

256
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,600
K pop, his uh his ability to be the defensive

257
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:26,799
coordinator and retain this the majority of the key players

258
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:27,960
on that defensive roster.

259
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I I love coach Fapinga. He's done an

260
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:37,600
outstanding job the last two seasons with you know, with

261
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:44,279
Special Teams, and he brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

262
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:47,279
You know, he'll quickly be the first coach to point

263
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,360
out at practice if the energy is bad and if

264
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,879
we got to pick it up and if we gotta

265
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:53,840
you know, wake up and freaking you know, kind of

266
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,600
really focused. So I think he'll bring a lot of

267
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,360
great intensity and and focus in that level, a lot

268
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,840
of good energy to to practice, to recruiting, to all

269
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:08,360
those things. But also I'm I'm curious as well and

270
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,480
excited to see, you know, with the with the Special

271
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:16,759
Teams role kind of off of his plate, to see

272
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:22,320
really how he kind of can emerge as a as

273
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,440
a coordinator and you know, lead in that setting because

274
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,159
you know, coaching special teams and having a position to

275
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,879
coach too. You know for some outside people, the m

276
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:34,720
I think that's an easy task, but you know that's

277
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:37,039
a lot and he and he cared a lot about

278
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,840
that role and put a lot of time and effort

279
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,360
into that, so I know he'll have an amazing impact

280
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,240
as a coordinator and the as you already mentioned, being

281
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,120
able to retain so much of our staff and having

282
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,159
Klane at the helm. You know, our guys, our guys

283
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:58,320
who had opportunities to leave, they want to stay and play,

284
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,159
you know, for Kilani, for k Pop, for the university,

285
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,519
and it's just it's a great place that guys they

286
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:08,879
don't they don't want to step away from that anymore.

287
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: Excited for you, T Wall can't wait to see how

288
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:15,399
you you you perform at your combine. I think it's

289
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:17,879
going to be eye opening for for some that haven't

290
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:21,679
seen your athleticism firsthand. I was looking, you know, through

291
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:24,480
kind of the NFL draft scout where they're projecting you.

292
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,799
I mean, I've seen your speed firsthand. I think you

293
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,559
can go uh sub four five laser handtime, definitely. I

294
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:36,559
think you go sub for four five laser. I wouldn't

295
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:38,519
be surprised if you run like a four four five,

296
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,480
if you're ten splits on point, which it should be,

297
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,840
I wouldn't be surprised if you hit that mark. What

298
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:44,600
are you shooting for?

299
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I'd love to run in the in

300
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,279
the four fourth I think, you know, at my size,

301
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,879
I think that'd be you know, great. I think I

302
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,759
play with with that kind of speed, so it would

303
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,200
be awesome to show that to the scouts on on

304
00:16:58,279 --> 00:16:58,759
Pro Day.

305
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:01,399
Speaker 3: Can't wait to watch a t wall. Let us know

306
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,960
if you need anything from us. Appreciate you hopping on.

307
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:08,400
Congratulations on all of your success, and no surprise to

308
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,240
me that you balled out at Brigham. I'll be honest,

309
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:14,680
I didn't expect all big twelve, you know, and just

310
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,359
you know, immortalizing yourself in the Utah game. But at

311
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,559
the same time, I'm not surprised, you know what I mean.

312
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,599
It's hard to predict those things. But you went out

313
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,559
and and showed everybody what you were capable of. A

314
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,160
dream come true, man, and I'm a big fan of yours.

315
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,039
I appreciate you hopping on to give us an update,

316
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:34,920
keep us up to date on all things, and let

317
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,559
us know if you need anything from us.

318
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: All right, well do yeah, thank you so much. Ben,

319
00:17:40,079 --> 00:17:43,640
really appreciate you been a great mentor throughout the years,

320
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,839
so it's good to It's kind of weird to hear

321
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,880
you say the former Cougar, but isn't that tough. That's

322
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,559
the realm we're stepping into now.

323
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, man, it went by fast, but I know

324
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,279
you savored those moments, man, and now go out and

325
00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:04,440
seize the day. Brother, empty the tank. You still have

326
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,599
a lot left.

327
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I believe it. Thank you so much.

328
00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: Much love to you, Tanner Wall. Ladies and gentlemen appreciate

329
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,240
you and your family.

330
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: Guys.

331
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: That's our segment. We'll say farewell to Tanner Wall, will

332
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,720
go to break. But that segment was brought to you

333
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:23,039
by Odeon Men's Where Odeon Menswear dot Com. They just
