After suffering a horrific ankle injury early last season, sophomore Malcolm Lewis took the practice field today in hopes of building on last year's signs of success.
**On where he is physically and mentally:
“Pretty much I’m ready to play. I’m ready to get back on the field and play again.”
**On if he ever thinks about the play where he was injured:
“I pretty much don’t think about it anymore. I just think of how to better myself and to keep on going and strive to be great.”
**On the 75-yard touchdown he scored in the spring game:
“I think about it a lot because it shows how much Coach Golden appreciates me and shows respect for each and every player out here.”
**On the difference between the first practice this year and last year:
“Mentally, I know what to expect now so it’s pretty much just another regular practice now.”
**On the receivers group:
“We have a bunch of great guys with everyone coming back and ready to play with the right attitude. Everybody’s ready to play.”
**On the offense’s expectations:
“We have goals to meet and we just want to meet them. They’re set high so we want to meet our goals.”
**On what he learned from last season’s obstacle:
“Play every down like it’s your last because it can be taken away from you.”
**On when Coach Golden came out to the field and embraced him when he was injured:
“It showed how much he cares for us again and how much he respects all of us personally. He would take all of us in as his own child.”
**On his mother’s thoughts about Golden’s gesture:
“It was touching to her first just to see me on the ground and then to see your coach over there so quick before the training staff.”
**Lewis confirmed that he has been 100% cleared to play.
