You just always have to be ready. You never know when your number is going to be called.

I would say my poise comes from my faith.
I think for anyone that plays the sport of football, when we find success, it just becomes very fun.
I use my sport and my talent as a tool to spread God's word. Whatever I get out of it, all glory goes to Him.
I like to sing with my cousins. We're in a church choir.
Anywhere you go, you're gonna have to compete. In life, you're gonna go get a job. You're gonna have to compete with the next person.
All glory goes to God. I can't describe what He's done for me and my family.
We just want to win the natty - the national championship - and that's starts with a team, not just one person.
Things down here in Hawaii are similar to Alabama. We go to church every Sunday. People are treated like family there just like here. There are many similarities there, and you want to be somewhere that feels like home, and that's what Alabama feels like.
I was raised going to church every Sunday.
I like to play the guitar and the ukulele.
I'm just glad that I get to talk about the superstar, my mentor - Marcus Mariota. That's who I try to be like. He's been a big inspiration to me and my family. I couldn't thank God more for him being bestowed into my life.
You want to go to where there's competition, with guys surrounding you every day.
I'd say most definitely with my faith, there's no room for me with it. It's always about other people. It's always about loving on other people and giving praise where praise is due.
The biggest difference from Hawaii and Alabama would probably be there's no beaches. But other than that, the people are very nice.
It's Alabama. They've been the powerhouse. The face of college football.
I don't know how Coach Saban found me all the way in Hawaii from Alabama.
I am from Hawaii. But I am not Hawaiian. I am full Samoan.
Competition's always good, but the biggest thing I like about coach Saban is that he gives everybody the opportunity to play.
My dad is my heart. My family is my heart.
The Southern hospitality is almost the same as the love and the kindness that they show back at home.
I just try to use my platform to praise God.
USC has been really involved with trying to recruit me, from my experience going out there.
For kids back home, making our state proud is the biggest thing.
Very appreciative that people think highly of me.
