You know, they had a really good offense, able to sling the ball around, you know, but I just felt like at the end of the day, it wasn't the right place for me. USC, the draw was Lincoln. I really wanted to play. And I felt like, you know, he's one of the most elite quarterback developers and thought that was really good.

But, you know, for a one year plug and play kind of deal, nothing came close to Ohio state. And, and I felt like when I started talking to coach day and coach day says, we believe that you're the guy that can come in here and lead us to a national championship. And that was all I needed, man. I needed, I needed a chance and, you know, I took it and ran with it. They didn't guarantee me anything.

So, you know, I watched it at K-State, and I got why they would want to go in another direction after what was going on last year at quarterback.
