Kevin Rojas Q&A

GoDuke.com: Why Did You Choose Duke?
Kevin Rojas: It was really just a combination of athletics and academics. When you add Coach Cutcliffe and his staff that is here at Duke it is really just an opportunity as a football player and a student that you can't pass up.

GD: Any Brothers or Sisters?
KR: I have one older sister who is 23 who graduated from Baylor. Now she lives in Nashville and works for Warner Brothers record label doing marketing for artists over there.

GD: What number did you wear in high school?
KR: I wore No. 8 which was my number throughout life in every sport in football, basketball and baseball. It is just the number I had since I was four when I started playing soccer. There is an "8" in my current number so it is all good.

GD: What sport would you play besides football?
KR: My other favorite sport is baseball. I follow it a lot and I really like it. I played in high school up until my freshman year and it runs in my family.

GD: What was your favorite NFL team and player growing up?
KR: Definitely the Chicago Bears. I grew up in Chicago and lived there until my sophomore year or high school. My favorite player would probably be Hines Ward.

GD: What websites do you visit most?
KR: Facebook and the Chicago Cubs home page on ESPN. Also pages for the Bulls and the Bears so I can check up on my teams.

GD: What do you like to do outside of football?
KR: I like to read. I like American literature and entertainment books like John Grisham. I love movies and have a passion for film so I like going to movies a lot. Mostly I enjoy just hanging out with my family.

GD: Who is your roommate this year?
KR: Jack Farrell

GD: After football what job would you like to have?
KR: After football I would like to go to law school. I am thinking either sports law or corporate law.

GD: Any talents besides football?
KR: I am a singer. A lot of people don't know that. My sister is a singer too so it runs in the family.
