A word for word Q & A with Beau Corrales

Why did you choose to go to North Carolina?

Answer: I just really liked the coaches there whenever I went on my visit. I like the campus there and so I feel like I’m gonna be able to get a good college education

2. What inspired you to play football?

Answer: Um, probably my dad and older brother; they both played football. Growing up just watching them play football as a little kid kind of inspired me to be able to play football.

3. At North Carolina do you expect to play immediately or later in your college football career?

Answer: They were kind of leaving that decision up to me. So, like,

if I can get there quick and learn the offence pretty well then, I’ll be able to play as a freshman and get to play right away but, like I said that depends on how well I can learn everything.

4. At North Carolina have you considered trying out for the basketball team?

Answer: It has been in some thoughts but I think that I’m just going to stick to football because of how much time it takes and because of the role I’m trying to fill in just as that quickly as a freshman.

5. Is it your goal to play in the NFL?

Answer: Yes it is. I’m playing at that level, that college football, I mean it’s so much time and so much work, so I mean I feel like if you're playing at that level and not trying to get to the NFL I don’t know why you are.

6. What made you want to play football instead of basketball?

Answer: Honestly I love both, and my older brother, he ended up quitting football and stuck to basketball, but for me it’s just the hype that comes with football. I just love the energy and the fans that just enjoy cheering on football players and stuff. I just love that energy.

7.What are you going to major in college?

Answer: I haven't decided yet but I think that I’m either going to major in business or I’m going to get a visual media major.

8. What team do you admire and want to go to in the NFL?

Answer: I’m pretty sure it’s either the Los Angeles Chargers, or the Dallas Cowboys.

9.What athlete did you look up to when you were young?

Answer: He was a running back for the chargers, his name was LaDainian Tomlinson, I’m not sure if you know who he is but he went to TCU and then went to San Diego.

10. How do you feel about the football players at North Carolina?

Answer: I like them a lot. Whenever I was on my visit I got to hang out with them and got to watch them work out and stuff and so, th`ey all seem like great guys so I’m excited to hang out with them and just be friends with them

11. When you were in elementary school did you and your friend’s like to play football?

Answer: Yes, all the time. We actually used to play over on the field in between the soccer goals. We used to play football like every day during recess.

12. What do you like to do in your free time?

Answer: Right now, honestly, I haven’t had too much free time. But, I guess just work out, and whenever I get the time, play video games.
