Q:Â What is your major and why are you passionate about it?
DJ:Â Evolutionary anthropology with a minor in sociology. I am definitely passionate about it because I am able to learn about the human body.

Q:Â What is your favorite Duke football memory?
DJ:Â The biggest one that I have is my freshman year when we were playing UNC I came around and hit the quarterback and he threw the ball with two hands and Bryon Fields picked it off for a pick-six.
Â
Q:Â If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?
DJ:Â Somewhere tropical, I don't know where but somewhere tropical.
Â
