 Rob Winger reporting live from the Stevenson University Mustang Athletic Gala joined by Stevenson University football alumni and now current Minnesota Viking Austin, Tennessee, Austin Congratulations on the on the stuff with the Vikings. I mean, I don't want to touch any more on it Just let you talk about it. Definitely. It's a blessing to be part of a great organization and just make it to the NFL Coming from Stevenson. It's a blessing. Yeah, you're headed to the league It's something that kids dream about when they're playing in the backyard Counting down the clock and scoring the game-winning touchdown. You're in case Intercepting the game-winning touchdown But now that dream has become a reality Talk a bit about how Stevenson University and the football program has helped prepare you for this opportunity Right Stevenson was everything for me. You know coach Hodel coach Johnson. There were great people I came in as a boy left that as a grown man. So I'm ready for life right now And what's after college? So I'm ready. Yeah, and when you were going through your recruitment You were obviously a highly sought-after recruit a lot of different programs looking at you But you saw something at Stevenson at the time We obviously weren't one of the top programs in the nation but over your time here you helped us transform into that So what did you see in the program when you were a perspective student athlete at Stevenson that said you know what? We can make a difference here and I can make the jump to achieve my dreams Just speaking of coach Hodel. He's a great man You know he hooked me on the first day we spoke when I met with them came up here for a visit He just fell in love with Stevenson. I knew that this was the school for me and I could do something with it Now while you say that you love Stevenson I think after everyone having a chance to watch you compete on and off the football field The fans certainly had an affinity for you always out there making the big play the game changers Just anything they can kind of turn the momentum What is it like when you're out there in front of the 5,000 fans and you make that interception or you pull the ball out and Return it for a touchdown on the fumble. What's it like? It's a blessing, you know blessing and an honor to be able to Make good plays for a great Stevenson University and just do my thing out there now while we see Saw you make a ton of plays here at Stevenson and basically be the human highlight factory of our football field We're really excited to see you do the same thing up in Minnesota with the Vikings. Thank you. Thanks for joining us awesome. Congratulations again Thank you Rob Winger reporting live from Stevenson University Mustang athletic gala
