How special is this game going to be for you?

It's going to be big. I get to go back home (Palm Beach Gardens) and play in a game that's a piece of history; the two winningest coaches of all time in college football. It'll probably be the last time they ever face each other. It's going to be a historic game. I get to play in front of my hometown. My high school's going to get announced during that game because they won a state championship, so it's very special. I've got a lot of people going to the game. I'm still fighting for tickets.

So will the bowl be it for your football career?

I'm going to give the NFL a shot and see where that is. With the surgeries I've had, I didn't feel like it was going to be an option for me, not by my choice but by their choice. But lately I've heard some good things.

What about medical school?

I'm taking an MCAT class as well at night and I'm going to take my MCAT in April and if the NFL happens not to work out, I definitely am going to plan on going to medical school.
