In an interview just a few days later, Rhule shared that he was going to the training table when Murray suddenly asked him to create a TikTok video with him. Additionally, he also mentioned that his daughter, Leona, was very excited after the video and the views it got, but she eventually realized that it was all because of Murray. Rhule said (via HuskerOnline, 21:37 onwards)

"I walked in the training and Harper (Murray) was like, coach we need to do a TikTok and you know it's kind of Leona's like dad you need to do a TikTok and so I did a TikTok. My wife doesn't have any social media and like within 15 minutes she was like, you did a Tiktok, that's how fast it went."
