Quincy Wimbish: I have been working on my speed for the most part.
Christopher Reiss: When breaking down your film, what should stick out?
Quincy Wimbish: When you watch my film, you will see I am a very passionate player. When I have the ball in my hands, I am a very hard runner. Not only that, but I can make people miss in the open field and I can also run though people. I will also stand in the backfield and protect my quarterback.
Christopher Reiss: Coming out of high school, what schools had interest in you?
Quincy Wimbish: A few small D2 schools, but Memphis showed a whole lot of interest. I decided to go to Memphis.
Christopher Reiss: In high school, what other positions did you play?
Quincy Wimbish: In high school, I played RB and also played defensive back. I would play nickel cornerback most of the time. In high school, my coach would not let me play defense very much.
Christopher Reiss: How would you describe your overall career?
Quincy Wimbish: I know the game from the beginning to the end of the game. I have been playing running back my entire career now. Having that experience made the game come very natural to me. I enrolled at Memphis and I just did not really fit in. I also got into a car accident over there which kind of influenced me to come back home. I transferred to Arizona but due to some transfer rules, I couldn’t. Now I am playing for West Liberty.
Christopher Reiss: What part of your game do you take pride in the most?
Quincy Wimbish: I would have to say blocking. Most running backs do not like sticking their nose into the opponents’ chest. I take pride in blocking to protect my quarterback.
Christopher Reiss: At WLU, what are you majoring in?
Quincy Wimbish: I am majoring in exercise physiology.
Christopher Reiss: What does life after football look like for you?
Quincy Wimbish: After football, I would like to own a gym. I love working out and I want others to feel my passion.
Christopher Reiss: Is there a player or players in the NFL that you look up to?
Quincy Wimbish: The player that I looked up to the most has to be Reggie Bush, no question. I wear the number 5 all my life because of him. My teammates and coaches have compared me to the great Marcus Allen before too.
Christopher Reiss: If you cannot play running back anymore, what position would you play?
Quincy Wimbish: I would switch to defense and play strong safety. I like hitting my opponents, so why not do that on the opposite side of the ball. Also on offense, I would have to say slot receiver because when in the open, I am gone with my speed. I always feel like I have hands like a receiver.
Christopher Reiss: Tell me some strengths of your game.
Quincy Wimbish: Some of my strengths include, catching the ball out of the backfield, protecting my quarterback with my blocking, and I also can run right through the hole that my offensive line creates for me. But my biggest strength that my coaches tell me is my vision.
Christopher Reiss: What are some things you need to work on in your game?
Quincy Wimbish: I need to work on my speed. Not saying my speed is bad, but we all can get a bit faster.
Christopher Reiss: What is your favorite NFL team?
Quincy Wimbish: The Las Vegas Raiders.
Christopher Reiss: What was the highlight of your career?
Quincy Wimbish: My junior year of high school. We were playing a cross town rival and the game went to overtime. At this point in the game, I have already scored four touchdowns, three rushing and one receiving. It was the first play from scrimmage in overtime. Coach called a play that game me a handoff and I scored the winning touchdown to beat them.
Christopher Reiss: What motivates you?
Quincy Wimbish: What motivates me are the students, teachers, and even friends that said I could not play football in college. Now there are people that say I cannot make it to the NFL. I want to prove them wrong too. I am also the oldest of three brothers and I have a sister. I want to show them that if you put your mind to it, you can really achieve it.
Christopher Reiss: Who is your go-to artist on game day?
Quincy Wimbish: Nipsey Hussle. His music just gets me in that grinding mode.
Christopher Reiss: What are some hobbies of yours?
Quincy Wimbish: If you want to count training and yoga as a hobby. I am a family man, so I love spending time with them and hanging out with my close friends. I also like playing video games and my favorite game is Fortnite.
Christopher Reiss: Did you ever have a nickname? If you did, what was it?
Quincy Wimbish: I do. Lil Q is my nickname. My dad is called Q. I am a junior, and my dad is a senior. That is where they got it from. But in high school, my coaches and teammates called me the Q train.
