My path has truly been a blessing. I wouldn't trade it for the world. It has made me the player I am today. I'm really thankful that this is the path I took. I think I'd be a different man today if I had it a little easier.Treydan Stukes

I feel like we barely scratched the surface last season. I really didn't realize that T-Mac, me, Jacob, that was kind of our first real season in that scheme. So we really were learning as we went throughout the season.Jayden de Laura
