I'm sure you've had to say it, tell this story a lot in, throughout the pre-draft process, but can you tell us a little bit about that? Was it always gonna be Kansas State? Did you see a path to playing at Kansas State? What was your, like, w- what was life for Sam Hecht life going into college?

Yeah.

Uh, so I guess in high school it started out, I was kinda undersized.

Um, so I was kinda under-recruited and I had, um, some FCS, um, offers.

But, um, I kinda wanted to believe in myself, trust myself, and, uh, go, um, into the Power Five, uh, program.

I mean, growing up in Kansas City, Kansas State was the football school around here.

Um, and I knew I wanted to play there.

Who's the guy or, or gal that you've kind of leaned on throughout this journey that's kind of kept you upright, um, while you've kept the quarterback upright?
