“It was just a great reminder of where my identity is, where it lies. And it’s in Jesus. And I continue to lean on Him,” he said.
“Again, the next day, I didn’t go out and throw for 500 yards and was this awesome quarterback, but it was just this peace that I had with Him knowing that, ‘Hey, no matter what, I’m going to face moving forward during college football, God and Jesus are going to be my identity.”
“And whatever I face, I won’t be shaken from it.’ I’ve got a great foundation in Him,” he said.
