HOW DOES IT FEEL?

>> IT FEELS AMAZING.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

>> WHAT PUT LSU OVER THE TOP?

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN THERE A BUNCH OF TIMES.

YOU'RE GOING TO GO BACK THERE THERE WEEKEND FOR THE BIG ALABAMA GAME.

WHAT PUT LSU ON TOP FOR YOU?

>> FOR ME, IT WAS MORE OF THE LINES WHERE ME AND MY FAMILY FELT MOST COMFORTABLE AT, AND ALSO, THEY'RE ALLOWING ME TO DO TRACK AND FIELD, WHICH IS A BIG THING FOR ME.

I WENT TO STATE MY SOPHOMORE YEAR AND GOT SECOND LAST YEAR, AND ALSO FOR THE DEGREE I WANT TO MAJOR IN, THEY'RE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY AT IT.

>> SO LET ME ASK YOU THIS, YOU MENTIONED TRACK AND FIELD, HOW HAS YOUR TRACK AND FIELD ACTIVITIES THERE AT EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN HELPED YOU ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, AND HOW HAS FOOTBALL HELPED YOU WITH TRACK AND FIELD?

>> IT'S HELPED A LOT, ACTUALLY.

WITH MY EXPLOSIVENESS AND COMING OFF THE BALL IN MY HANDS.

WHEN YOU'RE THROWING SHOTS YOU HAVE TO A QUICK, EXPLOSIVE HIT.

>> SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS SEASON, WHAT HAVE YOU THOUGHT YOU NEEDED TO WORK ON SO YOU COULD BE READY AT THE NEXT LEVEL?

WAS IT SKILL SET?

WAS IT STEPS?

WHAT PART OF YOUR GAME IS IT YOU THINK YOU NEEDED TO WORK ON AS A SENIOR TO GET YOU READY FOR BATON ROUGE?

>> I WOULD SAY WHAT I WOULD NEED TO WORK ON FOR ME PERSONALLY IS PROBABLY MOST LIKELY GETTING MY SECOND STEP IN THE GROUND, LIKE WHEN I COME OFF THE BALL, I'M SO USED TO KIDS COMING OFF OF ME, COMING HAVING OFF THE BALL AT ME.

NOW, EVER SINCE I STARTED THIS YEAR, THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING ORGANIZED, IT'S KIND OF HARD TO GET USED TO.

I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO COACH DAVIS, WHEN YOU GET YOUR SECOND STEP IN THE GROUND, YOU GOT TO TACKLE.

>> BRIAN KELLY HAS DONE A GREAT JOB.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE KIND OF SKEPTICAL OF WHAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO AT LSU, GOT THE BIG GAME COMING UP AND COMPETING FOR THE S.E.C.

HE'S DOING PRETTY GOOD.

WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE WITH COACH KELLY.

>> ME AND COACH KELLY'S RELATIONSHIP IS PRETTY GOOD.

I TALK TO HIM ALMOST EVERY WEEK.

ASKING HIM WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN, HE'S ASKING ME WHAT'S GOING.

>> SO REALLY QUICKLY, DID HE IMPRESS YOU WITH HIS DANCE STEPS.

WAS THAT ANOTHER PART OF THIS PROCESS?

>> I DIDN'T SEE HIS DANCE STEPS.

>> WITH OTHER RECRUITS, YOU'VE SEEN THE 360 CAMERA, AND HE HAS DONE THE THINGS WITH THE PISTOL AND RHYTHM, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A PART THAT HAD IMPRESSED YOU AS WELL TO GET YOU TO BATON ROUGE.

I WAS JUST ASKING YOU BECAUSE THE MAN MIGHT BE FRED ASTAIRE DANCING WITH THE STARS.

>> I UNDERSTAND.

>> D.J., CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TIME AT EAGLES LANDING CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE HEADING TO LSU.

THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US ON "RECRUITING 2022."

>> BIG OFFENSIVE LINE COMMIT IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, HOW ABOUT A BIG DEFENSIVE LINE COMMIT?

THAT WOULD BE NORTH GWINNETT FOUR STAR SENIOR CADEN McDONALD COMMITS TO OHIO STATE.

THE NUMBER ONE D LINEMAN, 6'3", 310, WILL JOIN JORDAN HANCOCKS IN COLUMBUS.

HE'S THE LEADING TACKLER, LEADS IN TFL ALSO WAS RUSHED FOR SIX TOUCHDOWNS.
