On his powerlifting in high school:
“In high school, I looked up to a lot of guys that did stuff outside of football. I had my cousin, his name is Chris Avery, that powerlifted back in the day. I looked up to him a lot. He got me started because he ended up winning a state championship. I wanted to beat all of his numbers and whatnot. I started in ninth grade. By my junior/senior season, I ended up breaking records and my own records my senior year. It was great. I ended up doing stuff outside of football to make me better in football.
