Or the Desmond Howard.
And honestly, if someone got up and scored a touchdown and did the actual Heisman pose... it wouldn't be as cool. No, people are like, what is he doing? What is he doing? Yeah, he got two feet on the ground. You're going like this. It's not as cool. So I actually appreciate it. I think they should give two trophies out.
Give the normal Heisman and then a bronze sculpture of the guy doing it because almost every Heisman winner has done it at some point in their Heisman season. Because I know I did it at Baylor with my teammates. Yeah, when did you do it? It was early in the season. Oh, early. So you called your shot. At one point, we had more touchdowns than incompletions five games into the year. That's insane.
So it was after one of those early games, and I did it with my offensive lineman. So that was pretty cool.
Waco's not as big of a city. Yeah. Right. But, you know, we used to have this this a student gym called the Slick. And I used to play basketball there all the time. So in 2008 through 2010, like 2008, 2009, we weren't very good. 2010, we got good. We beat Texas. We were seven and five. Everyone's feeling good about themselves because Baylor wasn't winning any games at that point.
Then in 2011, we went on a run. We won 10 games. And that was wild. Just walking around campus, smaller school, Baptist school. You know what I mean? So a lot of a lot of different people on campus. But the majority of the student population that was black were like on the athletic teams. Like it was that type of environment.
But it was cool to be there to see the impact and see how Baylor changed. Because when I got to Baylor, we had to drive 25 minutes across town to go work out because our facility and our stadium was not on campus. And then by the time I left, we had an on-campus workout facility. They were building McLean Stadium, which is what they play in now. Thanks to you.
Not just me, but a lot of other people. But I got to see the university change. At one point when I was a freshman, man, I'd go to class. You know those big auditorium classes where you got 500 kids? Yeah. And the teachers would be in the class making fun of us. Like making fun of the football team. Yeah. Like cracking jokes.
And I'm like, my God, our coach made us walk around with a shirt that said, I play football for Baylor because nobody took pride in it.
But by the time in 2010, 2011, now I'm going to these big auditorium classes and the teachers are praising us. Right. That was a very weird thing to go through. Yeah. That's a cool. It was a great transformation.
Yeah.
Yeah. You know, Mack Brown just unfortunately got fired. JMU made him quit early this season. You think so?
Yeah. So JMU broke him. I did not know that. But Mack never talked to me in recruiting. It was his recruiting coordinator. And they wanted me to be an athlete, which means they'll play you at safety. They'll play your receiver. They'll put you wherever they want you to be. I was a fast track and field guy.
So they never gave me an opportunity to play quarterback or even be recruited as a quarterback. But after my freshman year at Baylor, Mac met me at the 50 yard line at UT Stadium. And he said, man, we really messed up with you, didn't we? You can come here anytime you want. So I look at that sometimes. I'm like, man, what if we were in the NIL transfer portal days back in 2008?
Would I have transferred to Texas? And the answer is no, I wouldn't have. But it's nice to think about. And had they offered me a scholarship to play quarterback, I probably would have went there. Yeah, initially, right? I'll be quite honest with you. I probably would have.
They missed on Andrew, missed on myself, Johnny, Drew Brees didn't go there. That's crazy. They missed on Jalen Hurts.
Yeah, I would go to Baylor and say, give me four.
Give me four if you can. And I'm not saying, like, I did not grow up with money. So the likelihood of a team coming to you when you're an 18 year old and paying you six million bucks, you're going to entertain that.
The way I look at it is I love my university and I went there for a reason. You know, everything worked out for me the way they worked out because I went to Baylor University. So had I gone to Texas, would the Heisman Trophy that we won at Baylor mean as much at Texas? I don't know if it would have. Yeah, probably not. You know what I mean?
So God has a plan of making that stuff all work out, and it definitely worked out in my favor.
