QUOTABLES:
Head coach Dowell Loggains
"We have an awesome brand to sell … A national brand and a game day the way we have it, there's no game day like our place. We have a lot to sell and a lot to be thankful for."
Linebacker (and team captain) Colton Phares
"It's the highest honor you can receive, being voted captain by your teammates. Being able to represent and lead such a great group of guys, but I'm definitely not the only leader. We've got (fellow captains) Malachi (Singleton) and Ammo (Robinson), but everyone else on the team is a leader because you have to lead yourself every day. You're either getting better every day or getting worse. You're either bringing someone with you or pushing someone away. Everyone is responsible for making sure we're all pulling in the same direction."
Quarterback (and 2026 newcomer) Malachi Singleton
"I've just been trying to balance everything out and throw with guys after workouts, any time I get on the weekends, but also spend time with them outside of football. I think that's really important to build bonds with your teammates, especially me with the receivers, because that chemistry goes a long way."
