I'll admit I was having a little trouble in the classroom before. I wasn't failing or anything, but my coaches could see I wasn't living up to my potential. I was just going through the motions, just getting by, just staying eligible.
When you have a brother like he has, you are always going to have pressure. Everybody wants you to be like your brother, but he's always himself. He works hard and just plays.
I'm just so anxious to get back. I want to help these guys get the job done. Being away like this made me know how much I really love those guys, love Virginia Tech. I can't even explain how much I missed it.
Every opportunity I get, I try to make the most out of it. I'm looking forward to my future here at Tech. I see only good things happening in the future and I can't wait until they come.
