Esdras Simervil had three interceptions in the Brahmas win over West Los Angeles College.

Was there anything that got you going early in that game?
“I came into that game with no interceptions so I wanted to get one bad. They gave me an opportunity and I was able to get some interceptions.”

What are your strengths as a football player?
“Overall, I’m just determined. I just want to make plays I know I can make. I just want to help out for the good of the team..”

What would you attribute as the biggest factor to your team’s successful start of the season?
“The team is doing well. I try to just play my role on defense, on special teams or wherever they call me. As a team we are doing really well. We are the number one defense in California so we must be doing something right.”

What is something you would personally like to improve by the end of the season?
“Oh, for sure my returns. After having three interceptions, I need some yardage and touchdowns.”

Do you have a favorite NFL team?
“The Miami Dolphins for sure, because I am from Florida. And Florida State is my College team.”

Are there any professional football players that you look up to and try to model parts of your game after?
“There are a few, Tyrann Mathieu and Sean Taylor, but he passed away. Ed Reed but he just retired.”
