Krysten Peek: How has your senior season been after transferring to IMG?

Ayodele Adeoye: Coming here to IMG has been a great opportunity for me. The biggest adjustment was just learning the playbook versus just playing football without a lot of structure. The first game was a little bit of a setback for me since I broke my hand. This is my second game back but it feels good to be back out here.

KP: You’re committed to Texas; is that commitment 100 percent?

AA: Yes, I’m 100-percent committed to Texas.

KP: How’s your relationship with the coaching staff there?

AA: I mostly just deal with coach Todd Orlando and we’ve had a good relationship since day one. Of course he recruited my brother a few years back so I’ve known him for a while.

KP: I know you’re 100-percent committed to Texas but you’re still taking some visits. You were at Oklahoma recently; how was that visit?

AA: The Oklahoma visit was good. I went with great people and got to talk to a lot of the staff but like I said, I’m still 100-percent committed to Texas.

KP: Any particular reason why you’re still taking visits then?

AA: To me it’s not that big of a deal if I want to go visit another school. It’s just a visit.

KP: You took an unofficial visit to Florida and its head coach was just fired. Have they been in contact at all?

AA: I talked to coach (Tim) Skipper a couple weeks ago but I haven’t talked to him since the coaching change. Coach Skip just checks in once in a while so I’m not too concerned with it.

KP: As it stands right now, Texas has 13 four-stars coming in next year. What are your expectations for the 2018 season?

AA: We plan on coming in next year and winning the Big 12. It’s just straight to the point. I don’t have any other expectations outside that. I want to impact the team right away as a freshman.
