| N2FL: At what age did you start playing football? |
| D.B.: I started playing at the age of 5, it was a flag league. |

| N2FL: Any particular reason for the jersey number? |
| D.B.: Well I had #2 for my first three years of high school, but now I have #10. Our coach told us no single digits to create a team orientated team. |
| N2FL: When and who was your first scholarship offer? |
| D.B.: Florida Atlantic was my first offer, it was back over the spring season. The coach came to a practice and offered me on the spot. |

| D.B.: I have 2 offers, Iowa State is the other. |
| N2FL: Is there a school that hasn't offered you that you would like to see do so? |
| D.B.: Yeah, I would love to get offered by South Florida - it seems very possible. I just attended their SuperBull camp. |
| N2FL: What are some of the considerations you have when deciding between schools? |
| D.B.: To me it's all about being comfortable - trusting the coaches and feeling like a family. |

| D.B.: South Florida, Iowa State and Florida Atlantic |
| N2FL: Who is currently recruiting you the hardest? |
| D.B.: Iowa State; I talk with their coaches about once a week. I mean, they are talking a good game. |
| N2FL: What position would you prefer to play in college? |
| D.B.: I'm getting recruited as a free safety and that's where I'm going to play. |
| N2FL: Have you thought about who you might want to "officially visit"? |
| D.B.: I already have a date set with Iowa State for their game against Nebraska (10/18). I'm not sure about the other four. |
| N2FL: What do you feel are some of your playing strengths? |
| D.B.: I have good instincts about the game, I can cover the field at free (safety) and I am a hitter across the middle. |
| N2FL: What are some things you would like to work on between now and college? |
| D.B.: I want to get my weight up to at least 185 before I leave for college. I am at 175 right now, so I have plenty of time. |
