"I like coach (Jeremy) Pruitt a lot. He came from Alabama. And I think he's gonna do something at Tennessee. Every time I think of Pruitt's voice, I laugh. He's so country. He calls me Qua-ver-e-ous. But honestly, I think Pruitt is a real honest coach. He tells it like it is. He doesn't try to hide a lot of things from you. He's real understanding and he's doing a real good job of recruiting me. But I know they still have a big rebuilding process to go through. I just want to see how they do. The big thing is they just need players."
On South Carolina:
"I'm a loyal dude. South Carolina was my first offer after UNC Charlotte. I got offered by them when I was a freshman. My buddy Jovaughn Gwyn is down there, and he tells me it's going pretty good. He's actually going to play this season as a freshman. But this is how I look at all the schools: Can they win? It's not all about winning, but it's so much fun when you're winning. The coaches won't be so grumpy and everybody won't be so angry because you're losing. And I want to go somewhere and win and actually compete if I'm going to be beating up my body. I look at South Carolina and think can they win? They play a hard schedule. They play Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. Can they play in the SEC and be successful? Right now I feel like they're at the lower end of the SEC but they're moving up. The SEC is a tough conference. You're going to play somebody good every week. As a running back, I look at that. That's not good on the body. That's why I'm iffy on running back or linebacker."
