Devonte Britt/Football/Junior/Defensive back/No. 23/Sherwood, Ark.
“What made you decide to come to Harding?”
“I got recruited to play football here. I came on a visit and I just really loved it. It seemed like a really positive environment, which is a lot different than what I am used to back home. I fell in love with the people and the Harding image.”
“What made you decide to play college football?”
“I have been playing football since I was 5. It has always been my goal to play college football. Ever since I can remember, all I wanted to do was play for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but that didn’t happen. I still got to live out my dream of playing college football, and it just happened to be at a great place like Harding. It is just one of the things I have always known I wanted to do.”
“How have relationships formed here at Harding played a part in your life?”
“It has influenced me to be a better person. Once you get around a place with many good people it just rubs off on you. It makes you want to be a better person and do the right thing. I am very thankful for all the friendships that I have made at Harding.”
“What makes Harding football different?”
“Definitely the fact that with everything we do, we work toward honoring God. That is the motto of our football team. I have never been around a football team that’s main goal is to worship God in everything that they do. We are doing it for Him.”
“How do you manage your time?”
“It is really hard. Sometimes some things have to get cut out of the picture and sometimes it is my social life. I still have school just as much as the otherstudents. We don’t get any breaks because we are on the football team. I like to take advantage of having my planner. It helps me stay focused so I can get all the things I need to get done accomplished first then I can have fun after that.”
“Who is your mentor on the coaching staff?”
“Coach Beason he has been the biggest influence on me. He works with my position group, so I am around him a lot. He is a very strong Christian. He is always pushing me. I have been over to his house and seen the way he interacts with his family and it makes me want stuff like that. He is a very good guy and positive man. I love being around him. He has taught me a lot about the game of football and life as a Christian man.”
