Jack said that although his success will hopefully improve his concept stock this week, he would trade it all for a fraternal hug.
“It has been surreal to just come and come into this game. It is a goal that you set for yourself. But if I had the option if I had to come here, the worst week ever, ruin my concept stock, ruin, ruin, But that means I could hug my brother now, I would take that.
‘But on the other hand, I don’t think I could have had the week I had if everything that would not have happened. His wings were on my side. Him and Jesus Christ are the reasons why I was able to do all of this, “he said.
