On the outlook of competing in the Mason Rudolph Championship:
"Vanderbilt gives us another opportunity to have a bounce back week after a rough start to the spring season. It's a new event on our schedule and we look forward to the challenge in front of us. As a young group, we must continue to grow as a team and develop that competitive edge that's needed. We need to clean things up if we want a successful week."
