Klein got to ask senior offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer, who is one of 18 seniors on the roster about leaving a legacy for future Bulldogs.

“It’s definitely something special to us,” Salyer said. “It’s crazy you know. As you always say, you’ve got one foot out the door and then you try to think back to all the different memories that you have. The first time meeting a certain guy, the first time being on campus. It’s been a fun ride, but the ride ain’t over yet. We still got one big mission left and we’re all excited for it and to be here.”
