| Kacy Rodgers is listed as a 6'2 200lbs Defensive Back from Carroll High School in Southlake, TX |
Q: Being a player from Texas what made you choose the University of Miami?
A: I always grew up liking the Canes but really Miami was my choice just in how the whole recruiting process played out. I took my visits and met many people and Miami was just always there in the back of my head and that's where I felt God was leading me.
Q: The University of Miami is a school that has produced some of the NFL's greatest players, how do you plan on continuing the legacy that a lot of these great players left behind?
A: Miami is all about championships which is something that we are always striving for. Everyone has a role in order to restore the great legacy here.
Q: Any nicknames and how'd you get them? and be honest and give all of ya nicknames hahaha including pretzel stick
A: LMAO you silly brah. FFB calls me Tremaine and K-rodg cuz I got two sides to me lol and down here my teammates either call me Derwin Davis after the actor(The Game), Chris Brrrezzzyy, or White Bread cuz I'm light skinned haha.
Q: As a defensive back you've played both the safety and corner position, which one do you prefer and why?
A: Corner is where my heart's at. Down here I'm playing both which is good because it allows me to be versatile but corner will always be my #1. There's nothing like inviting someone to "my island" and then shuttin them down!
Q: What are your goals for Kacy Rodgers as a player?
A: I set high goals for myself: Jim Thorpe award finalist, ACC 1st team, All-American and Academic All-American
Q: How do you feel Texas 5-A High school football prepared for you for the next level?
A: There's nothing like Big Time Texas football, it's the best in the country. The competition that I saw with my own teammates and the receivers that I faced every Friday night, allowed me to develop the raw skills that I had. Without the big stage that my highschool played on, I might not have become the player that I did.
Q: How does the competition in the ACC motivate you each week?
A: The ACC Is an underated conference. I feel that the only conf. better is the SEC. Facing oppenents like Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina, and Florida State creates great match ups and chances to play big in bigtime games.
Q: Which musical artist get you hyped before a game?
A: If I could only pick one it'd have to be Lil Wayne. He has some hits that just get me in my zone, there's really no other way to explain it.
Q: To the kids out there who want to play for the U like Kacy Rodgers what advice would you give them?
A: Believe in yourself more than anyone else. Obstacles are part of life and so are the haters, if you keep believing in yourself then nothing can get you down. It's all about being resilient.
Q: Toughest opponent you've played against and why?
A: High school it was my last game against North Shore. I was covering one of the top ranked Wide Receivers in the country (Deandrew White who now plays for Alabama) while having just gotten shots in my knee. In college, so far FSU and Georgia Tech.
Q: What factors drive you to succeed not only as a football player but as a man?
A: I'd be nothing without my family and friends. My family has always supported me and given me anything I needed and I want to be able to give them back everything and even more. My friends are like my brothers, they know me inside and out and being successful wouldn't be the same if I couldnt share it with them.
Q: Any shoutouts?
A: To my parents, other family, and my brothers around the country.
