RE: On where he is right now
Fort Myers, Florida. I’m at my house. It’s just me, my mother, my uncle and my little brother. I’m just sitting here.
RE: On what it’s like to being able to stay in Carolina
“It’s amazing, especially to stay in North Carolina. It’s great. With everything going on, my situation with graduating from North Carolina, just to be in Carolina in a familiar area, it feels amazing.
RE: On when he graduated from UNC
I graduated in December, so I’m done.
RE: On if the Panthers have spoken to him about playing both cornerback and safety
I definitely think as a safety. If I have to, I can definitely play both. Right now, I’m just coming in and trying to play safety.
RE: On being a part of the defensive changes while at UNC
Switching up defenses was different at first. You had to realize that we didn’t have a linebacker and now we are having another nickel, which is going to play linebacker. It switched up a little bit but the thing about defenses is that it’s all the same. The plays have to be called the same ways and played the same ways so, it didn’t hurt too much. It was just getting everyone on the same page.
RE: On struggling early in the season at UNC and finishing the season on a strong note
I think we just had to find our identity. We couldn’t find our identity at the beginning of the year. I don’t think we really found it until the Miami game, seeing how good we really were. I think once we found it, we knew what kind of team we were and what kind of defense we were, that just pushed us to win games for the rest of the season.
RE: On what kind of safety he is
Honestly, I can do it all. I don’t think I’m just one kind of safety. I feel like I can ball hawk and I can come play in the box. When it comes to playing safety, I believe I am an all-around guy who can do it all.
RE: On what were his interactions with the Panthers leading up to the draft
I had a workout with them and I spoke to them quite a few times. I was just hoping that we could make a connection, I could get it done and get picked.
RE: On where the workout was
The workout was at North Carolina.
RE: On his Charlotte experiences
We had the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, so I definitely had fun with that. We’ve practiced in Charlotte before too, so that was definitely a good experience down there with the UNC fans coming. I’m familiar with it a little bit, so that’s the good thing about it.
RE: On dancing on the field while at UNC and if he plans to bring that to the Panthers
Yes, I definitely will. I hope I bring a lot more than just that, but I plan on bringing everything I can to the Panthers.
RE: On if he feels he needs to add weight or bulk up
If my coaches ask me to gain more I definitely will. There are safeties who played before me like
Ed Reed, Eric Weddle and Jim Leonhard, guys like that who weighed even less. If my coaches ask me to weigh more, that’s what I’ll do. As of right now, I feel like I’m fine and I’m just ready to play ball.
RE: On what he knows about the Panthers defense
I know they were second in the league in defense, a tremendous defense with the player of the year in Luke (Kuechly). It’s a dream to play on this defense, especially with how great they were. I know they brought in two veterans with Roman Harper and Thomas DeCoud. To be behind those guys, just talking about it, I’m getting chills. I know I can learn so much from those guys.
RE: On if he has been keeping up with the Panthers this off-season
I really have and with the coaches calling me too. I really felt like this was going to be the spot for me. I don’t know why, I just felt like we had a connection when we talked and met. I really wanted to know everything about this team. Especially playing for North Carolina last year and being able to watch them on T.V. every game, literally. Seeing how I can help the team and improve my game, I felt I had to know about the team.
RE: On how far he has come along in the last couple of years
I think I’ve come very far. Definitely being comfortable with safety too. I went from a corner my freshman and sophomore year, changing to safety the end of my sophomore year and starting the rest. I think I’ve come a long way, especially getting comfortable at the safety spot. I’m just ready to keep improving, especially behind the veterans.
RE: On if he knows any of the current Panthers
I don’t believe I know any of them, as I think about it right now. I hope they can accept me in the locker room and everything will be good.
Dave Gettleman: We got to the fourth round and we thought that Tre Boston was a very good value there. He’s very smart, he can get everybody lined up. He sets a tone back there, he’s a very physical player and on top of that he has very good skills. So we just thought it was a real good value there and we just thought he’d provide great depth. He’s definitely got a special teams mentality to him, that was very important for us, and we just thought he was a very good value there.
