Seeing President Obama speak is something I’ll never forget. Him calling me out, I didn’t even know he knew who I was. It was an honor, though. A lot of people ask why I went to Michigan … in the last month, I was part of a team that won the Sugar Bowl, and I got to see the President of the United States speak on the same field our team practices on. Like our fight song says, the leaders and best.
