What are your goals in life once football is over for you?

That's the million dollar question. When football is over, and baseball for me, I'd just have to find something I can be happy doing every day.

What hobbies keep you busy between practices?

When I have time for something else, I like bowling a lot. I like a lot of the alternative sports. So I go to Dixon Rec Center to play badminton or Ping-Pong. I try to keep active. I like things outside. I like riding my bike. I go mountain biking

What is your favorite type of music?

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It has to be Tom Petty.

Do you have a favorite class or area of study?

I like history. I never got into it for my major - I'm a business major - but I'm really interested in history.

If you could have a dinner conversation with a historical figure, dead or alive, who would it be?

Probably Abraham Lincoln because of how much he did to shape our country. We studied him a lot in one of my summer school classes and he seems like one of the best leaders in a pivotal time in our country. So I think it would be interesting to meet him.

What would be served at that dinner?

I'm not too sure. Chicken fried steak, I guess.

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

My parents and my family.

What is something people don't know about you that would surprise them?

I'm a lot more goofy than I look.

Do you have a pet peeve?

People who complain and don't work hard.

What was your childhood fear?

I'm definitely afraid of clowns. They just creeped me out. They really do creep me out.

What's your guilty pleasure?

Burger King. Oh ya, cheeseburgers. Basic cheeseburgers.

If you were stranded on a deserted island with one person, who would you want it to be?

I'd say my brother, Andrew.

Do you have a special talent?

I can make a few animal noises pretty spot on, I think. A squirrel or a dolphin are my best ones.

What one thing would you change in the world?

I'd have people be more happy with their situations.

What one thing would you change about yourself?

Learning to enjoy moments instead of about worrying about my future too much.

What has been your best OSU memory?

That's a tough one. There are a lot. There are a lot of games. The Civil Wars, the bowl games and the USC games were all up there. They were all down to the wire games, so it's tough to say which one was the best. So I'd say the six of them are all pretty special.

If you were president, how would you fix the economy?

I don't know. That's why someone else is elected to do it.

How would you fix the Middle East situation?

I'd probably get out of there, but I'm sure that's easier said than done.
