Cal Running Back Ashten Emory on Fitting In, What He Brings to the Backfield
The new transfer is soaking it all in and bringing some energy along the way.
New Cal running back Ashten Emory kept things upbeat and brief, arriving with an appreciation for his new surroundings and a clear sense of what he offers the program.
“Just blessed to be with the rest of the guys. I’m glad to be a part of a great program. I’m just glad to be here.”
On what he brings to the field, Emory didn’t take himself too seriously.
“I believe I provide a great sense of humor, some energy. I’m ready to lay my helmet down, bring that roughness to the running backs room. That’s what I bring.”
His early impressions of running backs coach Keith Bhonapha have been strong.
“He’s amazing. Real smart, amazing coach. He teaches me something every day. Every day there’s something new as a running back and I take it all in. I love the energy, the consistency. No days off for him. You hear him on the boards every day. I love it, it’s awesome.”
