If he could spend a day with any famous person it would be Derek Jeter because that was his first major sports idol. His pregame ritual is to listen to music in the locker room.

Alex DeRusso, number 10, is also a senior who is having a good start to his final season. He is second behind Palmer in receiving yards this season, he has 19 catches for 334 yards and one touchdown.
