Transcripts
you know had conversations with uh you
know two programs on top of Oregon and
uh kind of just did my due diligence but
I think once I did go on that that visit
to Oregon um and was able to see it and
you know be at the facility talk through
things um you know I think it was it was
one that I couldn't pass up and um like
I said you know having conversations in
alignment immediately and you know being
in my year knowing what's real and
what's not um it was it was one that I
saw right away and had to make decision
what were your conversation with
Ryan
um shoot it was it was good you know I
think uh with anything uh throughout
that process it's just gaining
information on one another um but um
yeah I think it's the recruiting process
is what it is and I think everyone that
was a quarterback in the portal um was
able to have conversations with in
different schools I know that they
wanted to wait I mean that was their
thing they want to see Deon Brown play
in the Bon B I'm assuming that was a big
fact you do want to wait right you for
sure I I think going through you know my
third recruiting process uh you know I I
know it's a stressful time for anyone
and anyone who's transferred although
there's you know Beauty in it with new
beginnings and all that everyone knows
the stress and uh you know a lot that
comes with it you know whether it's the
moving the the moving companies the
moving again uh there's just a lot that
comes with it so uh you know the faster
you can make a decision and feel good
about it you know be decisive then it
allows you to act accordingly with that
said how crazy how crazy is to think two
big 12 quarterbacks last year could be
going against each other on October the
12th you know with Will Howard sitting
there I mean is that go ahead yeah I
think it's you know to me I it's
different in college football because it
is new but I I also believe you know in
the NFL it was one league and you know
Payton went from Indiana or Indianapolis
Colts to the Denver Broncos and you know
it was different but life moved on you
know and uh to me I just think like I
said the the less disparity uh between
the NFL and college whether it's like
the you know inh helmet communication
tablets on the
sideline some sort of free agency that
we're talking about um I I just think
that uh
it it'll be better for the players and
adjusting to the next level several of
us are from the Columbus area who
standing here in front of you right now
how how do you look at this season and
not at least Peak toward Ohio State on
October the 12th everybody nationally is
looking at that a huge Showdown Game you
as a player how do you keep that
perspective yeah I think you keep it in
perspective is you know you still got to
play the games beforehand and um you
know of course there's matchups that
everyone looks forward to and um I think
that's what makes it fun about college
football um but you know each week you
have to go out and produce you know it's
a production based Sport and what have
you done for me lately and uh you know
that's why you know living in the now
living in the moment um will be really
good for the players and you know that's
part of your guys job of of getting
ahead and getting it right for us and
getting all the excitement going so um I
appreciate you guys doing that do you
know you know do you know will Howard at
all I do so I uh of course the big 12 uh
no new of them you know playing the
first year against them and then second
year we didn't play against each other
but knew of them and then met at the
Manning camp this year um but you know
very familiar with this game due to just
watching you know whether it's when he
was playing at K State um and opponents
we'd watch you know we we'd have you
know film from their you describe think
him asack no extremely talented uh you
know I think he does a great job of you
know running the football and and
throwing the ball uh great command and
has done a great job you know at K State
and
um you know it' be exciting you know
those are the type of match ups you look
forward to and uh you know that week
rolls around so coach said youling with
him recently what's been the process
kind of off the field of getting to know
him first time as people and other
things done together yeah um you know it
was the the dinners at his house um the
golf um you know just having that time
together uh you know meetings in his
office just about life ball everything
in between uh um you know you just
appreciate a guy like that you know him
being younger I think he understands the
younger generation um and is able to
connect with us well uh and he does a
good job of it but he's real he's
authentic he's genuine in the way he
communicates I think that allows us to
be vulnerable um and you know that's why
that respect and relationships are there
so um I appreciate him you know as a
defensive minded head coach he
appreciates the relationship with the
quarterback uh and you know also
realizes that that's important you know
as well as it's important to me so uh
whether we're playing nine at ECC or you
know in the office just chopping it up
you know I appreciate him you know a
whole
bunch being the
preseason yeah I think all that is you
know it it is what it is you know talk
is cheap and and hype is cheap for you
know for players in the sense that you
know
happens preseason doesn't necessarily
affect anything you know when season
comes around so uh you know that may be
happening and and like I said I
acknowledge it and appreciate the
excitement and everyone you know get
excited for season but you know the
truth is you know when we when we line
it up and the clock starts kickoff you
know hits we're we're rolling you know
and uh you you have to produce and it's
what have you done for me lately you
mentioned the parallels earlier the NFL
and and uh you know all the how
communication things are we making too
much of the travel or are you concerned
of like Hey we're going to be logging a
lot of miles this year what are some of
the maybe recovery things you guys
talking about yeah I think uh you know
that's real cuz it's like I said new so
it's going to be different but um for
the most part I I always think you know
that's even another parallel of you know
the NFL you know whether it's you know
the Chargers playing New England
Patriots you know they're they're going
to have to travel and uh that's kind of
part of it but um I think you know
organizations programs have been doing
the right thing of you know
communicating uh of how you know other
people travel or maybe it's traveling a
day earlier or two um and and I think
that will help but you know we did it
with bowl games you know people just got
out there a week earlier and and we're
able to so you know teams are going to
be playing in Ireland teams are going to
be playing you know here in the states
regardless I I think it's just how you
prepare on the front end to help you
know athletes coaches everyone
involved too right that too speaking of
travel uh I just want to test your big
10 geography real quick y do you know
what State Purdue is Indiana okay good
job 10 out of 12 from the West Coast
players really 10 out of 12 Washington
let you guys
down uh is it have you been in Indiana
before for anything
um I have not I have not do you do you
know anything about Purdue and and
because you guys are having to learn I
guess for you it's going to be that way
anyway moving conferences but as a
program you have to start learning from
these about these opponents from scratch
right yeah I think
uh to to be quite honest you know that's
kind of reminds you of like a
non-conference schedule uh for the first
time uh of learning uh new people but um
for the most part there are some
benefits you know for for that as well
in terms of you know not knowing each
other's DNA and uh you know the history
of it but you know also you know it it
just comes with new territory and you
adjust um you make adjustments you know
year to year and you you roll with them
so um I I think it'll be fun regardless
the best matchups in college football is
what everyone wants did you know Hudson
