Q: How is your sophomore year going so far?

Q: What was it like the night before your first varsity game and the day of your first game?
Reyna: The night before, I talked with my dad and we went over things. I was nervous for sure, and on gameday I was just ready and it hit me that I was on the varsity when the national anthem played.
Q: What is your favorite pregame meal?
Reyna: It has to be my dad’s pasta.

Q: You are filling in for Danny Vasquez, who played running back before you. What is that like, is there any added pressure?
