On why he chose to transfer to USC from Florida:

They're trending upwards. A lot of great things are happening. There's a chance to win a national championship. I really wanted to be a part of it."

"Right now, that's where they put me. Wherever they want me to play, I'm going to do everything I can to do it at the highest level possible."
