September 20, 2023 | Football
ATHENS, Ga. – University of Georgia redshirt sophomores Cash Jones and Dylan Fairchild offered the following comments during Wednesday's post-practice media session.
#32 Cash Jones | R-So. | RB
On his touchdown against South Carolina...
"It was a dream come true for sure. Growing up, I've always had dreams about scoring a touchdown in a close game like that. The linemen, they're one of the best in the nation. They just blocked it perfectly, and I came in untouched."
On how he developed his toughness as a player...
"I'd have to say my brother. He and his friends were always two years older than me, so they were always roughing up on me. They really made me tough, and I feel like it helps with being my size and running the ball at this level."
On his mindset and how he has built his skillset for SEC level football...
"You just have to be tough. It's a hard game. You have to be really tough honestly. Thankfully, I haven't really been hit very hard, but I try to avoid the big hits by playing smarter to make them miss."
#53 Dylan Fairchild | R-So. | OL
On his biggest obstacle while being at Georgia…
"I would say developing patience. This university has taught me how to develop patience and how to go through adversity and continue to go on the right track. Even though you might not see the other side of it, something is on the other side."
On practicing at multiple positions on the offensive line this week...
"All of our guys can play all five positions. That's one thing that we do a really good job of is preparing everybody to play any position."
On what he has seen from Cash Jones...
"He's awesome. He's one of the hardest working people on our team. He comes in every day and gets the job done. He's been a really good player and a good teammate."
