How the Tech offer came together: "Texas Tech has been recruiting me since about January, they were one of the first schools to come through. Then obviously it picked up again in June. They called me three weeks ago and wanted to get me on an unofficial visit ASAP. Then I made it there and they offered me today."

Texas Tech coaches: "With coach (James) Blanchard he's believed in me from the beginning, he was one of the first people to ever hit me up. Even before my first offer, he was one of the very first. It was like kinda crazy seeing Texas Tech be the first ever to text me.

He's been with me the whole process with Tech. He's believed in me, he says I'm like the most underrated ever. So I'm glad I got the offer.

Coach Fitch, I met him yesterday. He seems like a cool dude, he's a big happy guy. He gets straight to the point, get the job done and have fun later. He has fun at the same time... I can't really explain it. He's just a big happy dude who loves coaching."

Reaction to Tech offer: "I kinda knew it was coming because everything had led up to this but it's still crazy. Texas Tech is one of the biggest schools in Texas if not the biggest."

What Tech likes about him: "(Coach Blanchard) said he loves how physical I am every play and my stats are unreal. I have 34 inch arms, I'm 6-foot-3, 285 pounds. It's kinda rare to see people like that and that's what he said he likes the most."

What he'll bring to his future home: "They're just gonna get the best. A beast in progress."

Schools standing out to him: "Louisiana, Washington State, Sam Houston State and Texas Tech right now."

Official visit plans: "I have nothing officially scheduled but I'll take some official visits during the season so I'll have more of a real feel of the school, when everyone is on campus."

Commitment timeline: "I don't have one... I might drag it out, I might commit tomorrow, who knows? Anything could happen at any moment."
