Dare Says

He chose Kentucky because it was the best opportunity to get to the next level and improve as a man off the field
Three words to describe him are honest, kind, and respectful
After football, his dream job is to host a talk show
One word to describe him on the field is “nasty”
The best advice he’s ever received is “don’t ever give up, alway keep pushing”
