WHAT MCFARLAND SAID ON ACCEPTING A SCHOLARSHIP FROM MARYLAND AND TURNING DOWN ALABAMA:

“At the end of the day, I look at it as me breaking my leg in high school and not being able to have a senior year. Those are things I think about a lot. Sometimes I try to not get down on myself or beat myself up so much, because I know all of the things I’ve been through going back to high school. I’m ready for the next chapter in my life.”

ON HOW HE LOOKS BACK ON HIS CAREER AT MARYLAND:

“I feel like my experience at Maryland was a lot of ups and downs just with everything that we went through. My freshman year, me having to redshirt. After that, losing our teammate Jordan McNair who I came in with (during a preseason workout in May 2018). It has been a lot of ups and downs on and off the field through everything at Maryland. I’m glad I went through those things because it made me who I am today. I feel like that’s the great thing about life, and that’s something that I understand. You won’t always have success. Sometimes you’re going to fail, but it’s all about how you respond in life. I think it’s the same way with football.”
