Personality[]
Austin is strong but inside of him is a gentlemen. Andy wants him to do stuff he likes. Austin can be a bit of a coward until Sam was about to leave the crowd. Finally he stood up for himself and went against his father. All this time he really loved Sam, not Shelby or Sam's stepsisters. He is much more geeky than the might characters think.
