Arizona State on SI secured an exclusive interview with freshman WR Jaren Hamilton in the last week of fall practice - the transcript is below:

Q: Jaren, obviously, you come from Alabama. You come from a program with a lot of pedigree. What did your two years there teach you about just the approach to the college game, the speed, and everything in that sphere?

Hamilton: "It just taught me to rely on yourself and just trusting yourself that you can do what you know, what you showed up to. It taught me really just to stay strong, even want this hard, like coming from Bama, you know, I faced a lot of adversity over there, you know, going through the practices. And, of course, like you said, it's a place with a high pedigree, and just just staying humble and stay hungry. "

"You know, there's a lot of guys over there that, you know, I seen them come through, you know, they end up going to the league first Rounders, and then, you know, there was real successful in their career. So just coming from there, I learned just to, you know, bet on yourself and just come in and work every day."

Q: How do you feel about your connection with Sam (Leavitt)? Do you think that there's something special brewing between you two?

Hamilton: "Oh, for sure. It's only a matter of time, you know, till we get on the field and be able to showcase it. But we've been working since I got here. I trust and believe in him and his abilities and his vision up and down the field to, you know, make throws and just be that leader and commander, just bringing the best out of us every day."

Q: Do you have any personal goals for yourself - specifics - like numbers, Big 12 titles, anything in-line with that for you?

Hamilton: "I personally don't ever like, ever in my life put numbers on things, besides when I was in track, you know. But when it come to football, no, I don't. I don't have any certain number. I just want a ball out be here for my team. And, you know, win that Big 12 championship. And, then possibly go win a natty."
