“Always have been,” he said. “When I started, that redshirt freshman year, it was like, ‘I’m going to get on this field, and nobody’s going to take this spot from me.’ Even having Jake (Rodriguez) there, it’s good to have him just because he teaches me so much in the aspect of being mature throughout the game. So it’s nice having him here. His shadow doesn’t bother me too much.”
