I love my school, but I almost went to: Oregon was my No. 1 choice! University of San Diego was one of my choices, but Oregon was definitely the right choice.

My best physical feature is: My legs! I'm proud of my height!

If I had to watch one movie on loop for ever, it would be: Top Gun or Tommy Boy.

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my iPod, you'd see a lot of: NeYo.

My worst habit is: Goofing off when I should be serious. And being serious when I should be goofing around.

My gameday superstitions are: I don't have any! Everything goes well if it's well-rehearsed!

I'd love to trade places for a day with: A news anchor, to see if that's really what I want to do.

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't possess is: I wish I could sing.

These three things top my bucket list: Run a race for a cause, write for a TV show/be a character, voice actor, and save someone's life. It looks like I've got lots to do!

I'd want my last meal to be: Any Mexican food or fettucine alfredo.

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is: When I tripped and fell flat on my back in the middle of a pregame performance!

Three things I'd take to a desert island are: Water (of course!), my iPod, and frozen yogurt.

My favorite sport and professional sports teams are: NBA, Blazers and Lakers.

My one guilty pleasure is: Chocolate and peanut butter.

My celebrity crush is: Matthew McConaughey.

Five people I'd like to have dinner with (living or dead) are: My Dad, Barack Obama, Chris Farley, Walt Disney and Oprah.

My friends would be surprised to know that I: Love frozen yogurt. Just kidding -- everyone knows that!

The next risk I want to take is: Traveling for a year or so before I get a real job.

The reality show I'd do best on is: America's Best Dance Crew.

The worst date I've ever been on was: I don't think I've ever been on a bad date. Lucky me!
