Minor’s devotion to the craft makes him a special example. In a field where many analysts and broadcasters dreamed of successful playing careers but never necessarily aspired to be on air, Minor has his sights set on both. He even sees similarities in preparing for a broadcast and preparing to take the field.

My preparation for a show is actually very similar to preparing for a game, Minor said. I took a few days, a couple hours each day, to prepare for the show. Mondays I would pick my guest or ask around for who’s able to come. Tuesday I would start my interview prep or look at their bios and prepare some questions from that.

Wednesday I would write out things I would possibly want to say, or have a background of things I would want to say so that I’m not going up there just blank, Minor continued. Thursday I would rehearse what I’d want to say so when I actually go out there it's more flowing instead of just me reading it. Friday was the show. It’s definitely a week-long process for me, just like preparing for a game on game week.

Much like his job as a football player - a utility offensive lineman who has made an immediate impression since stepping foot in College Park - Minor aspires to hone his skills in the studio as well as on the field. He knows there’s a long season ahead, and a lot of room for improvement on a team that through its first two games has showed it’s worth its salt. He’s excited that he’s been an impact player, but realizes there’s no room to be complacent.

I just have to keep focusing on doing the best I can, being the best version of me, Minor said. It’s kind of surreal for me because I’ve always pushed myself to try and do my best no matter what it’s in - football, school or even just life. Wherever life happens, wherever adversity happens, I just keep pushing past it and taking my steps, keeping my head down and keep pushing.
