The people that Quincy spends most of his time with just happen to be some of his favorite teammates. They are Jaron Taylor, Clint Knickrehm, and Luke Martin. He enjoys watching television and movies. His favorite show is "Family Guy" because it reminds him of the "Simpsons" and he used to watch it religiously as a child.
Right now the time of he and his teammates are dedicated to playing, studying, eating, sleeping, and living football, but after the season things are different.
"I've never worked a day in my life" Quincy states, then adds "I have applied for several jobs, but I never seem to get hired." As a career though, Quincy would love to make weapons of some kind.
He draws his inspiration from his mother, who at times would work two jobs just to make ends meet. Speaking of his mom, "she is the hardest working person I know. She did everything she could to take care of my sister and I, and I am very thankful to her for that" Quincy said.
Whether you have met him or not, you have to be impressed with his focus and determination for success. "Q" won't be satisfied with mediocrity. He continues to work each day to improve himself as a teammate, friend, and student.
When asked how he'd like to be remembered after leaving ISU he confidently stated, "I want people to remember me for challenging myself, and working hard all the time."
