When I spent the day with @uw_football I asked everyone the same question… What is @themp9 really like? Most of the answers I heard included the word “authentic.” So I asked him where that comes from? “Just being myself, I don’t really try to be anybody else and I really don’t ride that hype train.” “I just focus on what I can do to get better and help my team get better.” Penix also gives a lot of credit to his parents and how they raised him. “I always have parents that help me understand, it’s not always about me, things are bigger than me so I do it for a bigger purpose.” @nextupwithadam #cfb #collegefootball
