Can you tell me what what this experience has been like for you? Obviously you're new to Raleigh, but jumping out and helping in the community already know, it's been great. Um you know, I think a lot of great people that's got this got this put together for us and then you see a bunch of our guys are out here just doing something that can, you know, better the community on a saturday gets us up, you know, you're not sleeping in. Um I just think the camaraderie, I think this is one of the things you got to do as a team, just off the field stuff, we're with each other so much around football, the time that I think a team is really built for just doing stuff outside that's not football related. And I think just doing this stuff, just help the community just brings us together and just continue to build a connection with each other. Obviously the NHL opportunity with a pack of wolves to be able to put this thing together and for you guys to be able to make a little bit of money. What's that mean for you as a player? I mean, it's it's super nice. I know, l space is a big deal since it just came back or just came to college football within the last year or so because guys an opportunity to, you know, do a service that helps somebody and then, you know, they get paid for it. So I think it's just a cool thing to do and I think things like this, it's kind of what it's about um just helping somebody and then you know obviously receiving a payment for it. But I think that the helping part is what it's really about to see so many guys out here. What does that mean for you? Your quarterback obviously a leader to see so many guys willing to do this on a saturday morning. I mean it just goes to show the it's not the dedication of football and you know what were you know obviously came to N. C. State forward to play football. It just shows the dedication for another team just being around the guys. I think that just shows how much each each of one of these guys cares for each other. Um And I think that just goes a long way.
