Peter Ariz had a chance to speak with a couple of players at Miami Hurricanes Media Day, where he caught up with new Hurricanes defensive back Bryce Fitzgerald.
Here is the full transcript of the interview:
What's it like being here for the last five months?
It’s been great. The team brought me in, they treated me like I've been here since January, and we've just been grinding and working
Transition from Columbus to Miami
It’s a little different, I would say. We’ve practiced in the morning at Columbus, so it’s not that big of a change. But being disciplined, being here on time— even earlier since you’re a freshman— you’ve just got to do the little details to get noticed.
Have you added any weight?
Yes, I have, I added on a lot of pounds, thanks to coach Ervin, he's been pushing me to the best I can be, everybody wants me to get work and get bigger and stronger. (Weights 187)
Where do you see yourself this year getting the most work at?
Defensive back, but we'll see. Going through fall camp, just working to see what we can get.
Thoughts on the new defensive back coaches
It's been great. They took me in, they accepted me, and they've been pushing me and giving me techniques I can use in my game.
How have the vets in the defensive back group helped you with the transition to the college level?
It’s been great. There are no guaranteed spots, so in fall camp, we’re pushing, and everybody is pushing and competing.
