Coach Dan Hunt on Christian:Â "Christian is another fifth-year player. I got to know him really well once I became the head coach. I didn't know him as well probably as I should have when I was the offensive coordinator. He's really a tremendous kid. He plays with great passion and great energy. He provides a personality to the team and is still a team-first guy. He does whatever we've asked him to do and does it with great passion. He has grown as a person over his time here to become one of the more dependable players on the team. If something needs to get done, he's going to do it. He's going to take that and grow and he'll take that with him the rest of his life. And I'm just happy to see him have the success he's had the past couple of years."
