Speaker 3: Level up. I love it man. How long you been

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,159
down at Snow College? Tell us a little bit about

53
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:34,199
your trajectory. Let's start off with this. Where'd you play

54
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:36,840
high school football? And how'd you get to Snow.

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? So I actually played my first three years in

56
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:46,879
high school in a school called Brighton Is in Colorado,

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,159
and then right before my senior year, my family we

58
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,800
moved to Arizona and so I finished my I did

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,039
my senior year at American Leadership Academy Queen Creek.

60
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: Love that man, So yeah, the the a LA connection

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,439
who was your coach down there?

62
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,599
Speaker 4: I had Max Paul and Dennis Pitta as my coaches.

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,759
Speaker 3: Pretty good coaches. Uh you know, what was it like

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,719
get coached up by Max and Dennis? Oh?

65
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,879
Speaker 4: It was amazing. I mean Max's brain on the offense.

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,080
He taught me so much just about how to to

67
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:27,680
play play offense, but I didn't play much. And then

68
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:30,680
you know Dennis Pitta with his experience as a tight

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
end class you know, receiver being able to catch the ball,

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,159
and you know, he just they were both just so amazing,

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280
so patient and so good at what they did and

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:38,759
helped me.

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: To so much. I love that man. Well what was

74
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,439
it like, Uh, you know, I mean what positions did

75
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:47,840
you play? We were always a long snapper growing up.

76
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:49,680
How did you get trained up on the long snapping?

77
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:51,039
Did you play any other positions?

78
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? So in high school I played outside linebacker and

79
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240
then a slot receiver, slash tight end mixed. And it

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,759
wasn't until my senior year I actually got long snapped.

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,159
And I was, you know, new to the area. And

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,919
one of my buddies that I just you know, became

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
friends with, he was a punter and he was working

84
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,439
after practice and so I stayed after and I was like, hey,

85
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:14,960
I'll help you. I've seen you know, I'm not sure

86
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,480
I'm any good at this, but I've seen guys do it.

87
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:20,319
And so I just started long snapping for him. And

88
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:23,120
then you know, he was like, coach, you got to

89
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,279
see this. He showed our coach my senior year, and

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,279
you know, coach was like, all right, and then I

91
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:29,240
was a long snapper.

92
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know, long snapping is a unique talent, right,

93
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,199
and it's you know, sometimes it can be individually developed

94
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:42,920
or you can have some coaches involved as well. How

95
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:44,480
did that process play out for you?

96
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: H Well, just honestly, it's been just working on myself

97
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,920
and then trying to see videos of you know, professional

98
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,600
snappers and watching college snappers and just trying to mimic

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,319
what they do. And you know, God's definitely blessed me

100
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,600
to be able to continue to improve and get better

101
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,920
and better and you know, just continue and narrowing in

102
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,439
the craft.

103
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:09,879
Speaker 3: I love that.

104
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 4: Man.

105
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: Well, uh, Snow College utilized your services, Zach Erickson got

106
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:20,600
you to eat from and in and I'm sure it's

107
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,199
worked out well for you. Tell us about your progress

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:23,959
there at SNOW.

109
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was. It was definitely a blessing, b

110
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,279
a little to be there with you know, coach Ericson

111
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,600
as well as coach O'Neill as a special teams coach.

112
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,240
They I was able to be putting positions where you know,

113
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,720
I got to really lock in on long snapping and

114
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,959
push myself and to be better and better. And you know,

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,319
as I focused in on the craft being solely a

116
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:49,920
long snapper, it was super cool to just watch you know,

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,920
an art come together, you know, me getting better and

118
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,720
you know, just having fun with it. Learning that how

119
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,079
just you know the importance of special teams, how how

120
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:02,920
essential it is to be good at that.

121
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: Well at b YU always needs good lung snappers. It's

122
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,600
a you know, it's funny the long snapping position, like

123
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,399
no one really gets to know the lung snapper, and

124
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,000
if they do, it's not necessarily always for the best reasons, Right.

125
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,879
Is that a lot of pressure on a guy like you?

126
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,399
Speaker 4: I definitely say at the start, and then I I've

127
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,120
been working on you know through the season. This last season,

128
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,560
my first season, I definitely felt a lot of pressure,

129
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,639
you know, coming back from my mission and not having

130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,000
very much practice because I didn't think that's what I'd

131
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,079
be doing. I Uh, I felt a lot of pressure then,

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,759
but as my second season went on, you know, I

133
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,360
just try to change my mindset and look at you know,

134
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:47,000
we're playing this game of football, and it's just an opportunity.

135
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,560
It's another opportunity to go out there and.

136
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: Do my job.

137
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,519
Speaker 4: And I know that I can do it. And so

138
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:53,319
as long as I believe I'll do it and I

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,439
and I go out and I do it and perform.

140
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,040
You know, it really changed and I just got more

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,160
and more confident in the second year as I went

142
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,319
out and I snapped, and you know, just seeing that

143
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,360
people people believed in me, people trusted in me, and

144
00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:08,360
you know, it also made it fun when I was

145
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:10,639
able to get down the field and make a few tackles,

146
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,959
that it made a lot more fun.

147
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:15,879
Speaker 3: Well, your background is maybe a linebacker and also a

148
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:18,720
receiver probably helps you out with that. It sounds like

149
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:20,439
you got some pretty good top end speed, so you

150
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,639
can get down there and it maybe make some open

151
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,399
field tackles.

152
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,439
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, I was able to have at snow you

153
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,160
know it's last semester. Last season, I was able to

154
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,040
have two solo tackles and then two assisted tackles. So

155
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:36,519
you know, it was fun getting down the field, either

156
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,480
causing guys is to obviously like tackle them or causing

157
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,920
them to stop their changing direction, you know, making them

158
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,759
go side to side and stay up the field.

159
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,279
Speaker 3: Well, it's cool to see those talents showcase. Did you

160
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:53,000
play any other sports growing up? If so, what were they? Uh?

161
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I just honest, I was trying everything.

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800
My parents always you know, encouraged us going out and

163
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,439
in their rule was if you started something, you got

164
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,120
to finish it, whether you like it or not. And

165
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,920
so I growing up, I was just going through high school.

166
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,199
You know, right before high school, I did lacrosse. I

167
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:15,319
did basketball in high school, and then I did track

168
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600
and field as well. As my junior year, I actually

169
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,079
got a neat opportunity where I did competitive cheer, so

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,199
I learned you know, body control with slips as well

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,560
as you know, some upper body strains doing throwing girls

172
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,399
in the air and all that stuff.

173
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: You said, that's a unique path. No one really talks about,

174
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:37,039
you know, engaging in that particular sport and activity, and

175
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,879
so you mentioned like the acrobatics of it and then

176
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,320
the strength portion of it. How does that helped you

177
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:43,879
in football.

178
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: I mean, for one, body control has definitely helped me

179
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,960
on the on the field, just being able to I

180
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,519
mean just going from snapping to straight up sprinting, you know,

181
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,200
not money. People are kind of folded in half and

182
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,600
then just get out of that and start sprinting. And

183
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,399
then people are right off the line there. You know,

184
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,759
they're trying to hate you, stop you get you off

185
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,200
tracks of being able to move, and you know, just

186
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,240
having that control really helps as well as you know,

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,960
having the shoulder strength. I feel like it's definitely fighting

188
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:18,480
hand fighting with people, pushing them off, knacking the hands

189
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:21,159
down and running through people. It definitely has helped me

190
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,720
in the game and just being I mean it's more

191
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:25,720
stronger and balanced player.

192
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: Love that breakdown. Rayton Hines the newest member of the

What are you gonna be doing? What are you gonna

00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,039

203
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,919
classes in training, et cetera.

204
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, right now, been helping out at the house. The

205
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:04,840
reason I actually I told you, you know, five point

206
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,279
thirty should work. I just got I made sure I

207
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,639
milked the cow early today and did all the animals

208
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,120
early today so that way I could be on this

209
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840
and I didn't have any distractions out outside.

210
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: I love it, man. Yeah, tell us a little bit

211
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:22,519
more about the family and a little bit about the farm, man.

212
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,639
Where you're at with doing, you know, taking care of

213
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,320
all the animals.

214
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:28,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we just got ourselves a small farm,

215
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,720
you know, we just it's kind of something that we've

216
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,919
loved to do. And I mean I'm the oldest of

217
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320
eight and so there's a lot of kids, so that

218
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,440
kind of helps with the chores. We spread it out,

219
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,320
and you know, the animals have been super cool. Just

220
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,080
I mean for me, I have for my little siblings,

221
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,320
you know, talk learning about responsibility, and you know, these

222
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,919
animals are not going to feed themselves, are not going

223
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,960
to take care of themselves. You know, we got to

224
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,200
be out there. We got to show up. We got

225
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,200
to do everything even if we're tired, we don't want

226
00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:58,519
to you know, got to get up early and you

227
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,799
got to make sure that it's doing it. You got

228
00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:01,720
to consistent with this. So it's a lot of cool

229
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,159
things that we've I think as a family and for

230
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:07,039
myself that have learned just from you know, taking care

231
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,759
of these animals.

232
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. Like I asked the question

233
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240
many times to our listenership, like, hey, at this day

234
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,120
and age, how do you raise kids with grit, with

235
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,679
fortitude and teach them good habits? And some people say, hey,

236
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,960
you get them in sports right. A lot of people say, oh,

237
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,320
get them into music right because they can you know,

238
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,080
wrap things out. Others said, hey, get them on a farm,

239
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,639
so they got to get up every morning and do

240
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,159
chores and get work done and that will create the

241
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,240
grit and habits that lead to success. And it sounds like, uh,

242
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,039
you got, you got, you got double fashioned, you got

243
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,960
the sports and the farm work going. Yes, sir, So

244
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,399
you know, would you would you recommend, like do do

245
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,200
I need to go buy a piece of property and

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,799
raise my kids on a farm? Is would you recommend it?

247
00:11:57,919 --> 00:11:58,720
Highly recommend it?

248
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,639
Speaker 4: I mean, and I would. That's what I want to

249
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,120
do when I'm older with my kids, you know, I

250
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,720
want to live close to the family, be able to

251
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,480
take care of obviously having sports, have fun with them,

252
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,200
but as well have those animals, because I mean, not

253
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,159
only does it teach responsibility, you know, like you said, grit,

254
00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:18,399
but as well. I mean, I think it's amazing how

255
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:21,559
they get back, you know, for taking care of them. Cows,

256
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,360
we get milk and we use that milk for obviously

257
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,799
drinking milk, but we do butter. You can, you can

258
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,240
do yogurt, You can do cheese, I mean you can

259
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,480
even we used to do milk goats as well, and

260
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,960
I mean we have we make soaps.

261
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:36,919
Speaker 3: Out of it.

262
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: So I think it's a lot of cool things. You know,

263
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:43,919
teaches obviously the grit and the responsibility and being consistent,

264
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:47,320
but as well just how much like God's creations are

265
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,320
for us. It just teaches us about his love for us.

266
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: Love that man. I really appreciate that commentary and perspective.

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,120
Rayton Hines the newest member of the bue Coop football team,

268
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:01,759
the long snapper, coming at a snow Junior College. They've

269
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:03,200

future teammates, have you you know, have you taken any

271
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,799
official recruiting visits, et cetera up to Provo. Give us

272
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:13,159
a little breakdown of of of maybe the guys that

273
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200
you already know on the team and you're recruiting, or

274
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:17,960
your recruitment that led you to Provo.

275
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I I've not been able to meet any

276
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,519
of the guys texted, I got a couple of texts,

277
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,679
you know, welcome to the team, super grateful for them

278
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,759
reached out. But outside of that, don't really know anybody.

279
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:33,639
So it's kind of a I mean, it's a fresh,

280
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,679
clean slate, meet new guys, new talent, which is super

281
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:40,000
fun and you know, a good opportunity just to learn

282
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,879
and to grow. But haven't been able to be on

283
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
campus yet, But I am. I'm excited for when that

284
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,919
time comes and I get to be there. I get

285
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:51,000
to see all the guys, the coaches meet them, as

286
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:54,519
well as get get in with the facilities, because I've

287
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,679
just heard they're and seen their top notes from the

288
00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:57,679
videos I've been watching.

289
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: Who recruited you, Which coach's recruited you to be YU

290
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
and why was BAU the place for you?

291
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: So I got talked with Dylan Almond as well as

292
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,799
Justin Enna, and you know, they're just awesome. I love

293
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:14,919
talking with them, as well as my coach at SNOW

294
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Special Teams, coach Coach O'Neill. He I know he was

295
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,240
talking with coach just Putpinga and was talking about getting

296
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,799
me up there during the season. It wasn't able to

297
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,399
work out with that during like the regular season get

298
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,879
me up there for some just like some looks up there.

299
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,279
But I was able to talk with those two coaches

300
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,080
and coach O'Neill was talking with coach Finga.

301
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:39,399
Speaker 5: And it's definitely BYU is I mean, obviously it's a

302
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:44,039
the Church of Jesus Christ, the Lord's School, and that's

303
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,159
I mean, it's just a place that I've always wanted

304
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,720
to be because of the culture, I mean, the religion classes.

305
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,279
Speaker 4: That I've heard of, and just the feel there's it's

306
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,039
one in a million. BYU is definitely a completely different

307
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,559
campus than any other school out there. So it's just

308
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:01,679
a place I want to be where I can grow

309
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,440
not only with football, but as a man and with

310
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,559
my relationship with my father in Heaven.

311
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: Love that rating and great. Uh you know, I feel

312
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:15,320
the same way. It's it's the best institution to become

313
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,159
a holistic human. What do you plan on studying there

314
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,879
at by U.

315
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: Right now? I'm planning on business administration. No, I've been

316
00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:28,720
interested always with like numbers and how businesses work and

317
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:32,120
creating them, and it's just always struck my attention. And

318
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,440
so that's something I want to pursue to learn more

319
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,279
in andto oh huh yeah, pursue my life wise.

320
00:15:39,039 --> 00:15:41,519
Speaker 3: Hello, what does mom and dad do? Give us a

321
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:44,120
little breakdown and do you have any you know, aunts,

322
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,240
uncles or anything that that that that inspired you to

323
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,080
go down that path.

324
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: So my my dad's a plumber, and my mom stayed

325
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,639
at home and you know, taking care of the kids,

326
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:56,600
which is a job all of its own, and uh,

327
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:01,000
you know, it's just watching them and taking care of finance.

328
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
They were they were really awesome, And I think my

329
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,879
sophomore year or so, they took a personal finance class

330
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360
and they brought me with and had me in the

331
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:13,240
class too, so that I could learn how to you know,

332
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:15,960
budget money or how to save, how to just be

333
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240
smart with the money that we have, you know, being

334
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,039
in such a big family, you know we have to

335
00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:23,960
You can't just go out and buy all your your

336
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,919
wants and everything. You know, you can't be impulsive with

337
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,600
your purchases. You got to really be in line with

338
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,159
what you need over your wants. And so you know,

339
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,879
they've been inspired me that way, and so it's always

340
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,399
been something that I really like and I want to do,

341
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,679
and you know, I want to learn more so that

342
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,600
way that I can teach my kids and I can

343
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:45,919
help my family, you know, if we're able to start

344
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:49,279
a family business or anything else, that I can have

345
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,720
a solid foundation for that and help be like a

346
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:53,919
push for that.

347
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:59,159
Speaker 3: Love that man, well excited to see you know how

348
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,320
the experience were out for you at b YU. As

349
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,799
you go through the business side of things, maybe get

350
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:06,079
an MBA, et cetera, or maybe you're in the NFL

351
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,160
after a few years. How many years of eligibility do

352
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,440
you have left raiding?

353
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 4: I have two playing years and one red shirt year.

354
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,519
Speaker 3: Nice man, that's good you got. Did you guys discuss

355
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:20,799
that eligibility at all? Do they plan on playing you

356
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,640
this year? Do you think do you think you'll take

357
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,519
a red shirt year?

358
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: Not sure yet I don't. I know that they got

359
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,319
a long snapper up there right now for the spring.

360
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,000
I hope to come in and be able to compete,

361
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:36,799
and you know, wherever it goes, it goes.

362
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: Love that rating. Well, what else do you like to

363
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,720
do outside of outside of football school and obviously working

364
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:45,319
on the farm.

365
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,759
Speaker 4: Man, I'm honestly, I'm a pretty simple guy. I don't

366
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:52,799
do much outside that.

367
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 5: I love.

368
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 4: I love football, I love working out. I love being

369
00:17:57,279 --> 00:18:00,319
with my family spending time with them. How about obviously

370
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,880
