"He’s talking to me about getting into coaching, and I have to sit him down and ask him, ‘Is he completely nuts?’" Stoops said.
"I mean really with this day and age with the way things are, it’s very difficult to get into this business, but for him, I think he would be successful in anything he chooses to do. I definitely would have a spot for him with anything he chooses to do because he’s a special guy. He really is. He’s a difference maker. He’s going to have a bright future. Very proud of him and appreciate him.”
Love was the recipient of the 2017 Wuerffel Trophy, which is awarded to the player "who best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement."
