Earning the offer from Tech: "It is always an honor to receive an offer. Obviously, receiving an offer from Tech is awesome because it is so close to home so that my family and friends could come watch me play."
Gameday visit: "The game was really good. Tech does a great job of putting on a show at their games. They really involve the fans. We have been to a few games at Tech so I was familiar with everything. The new lights really stuck out this time. Being on the sideline and sitting on the front row was amazing!"
Catching up with the coaches: "The director of recruiting (Brian Nance) came by our table in the indoor. It was good. We had a brief conversation but he expressed how excited they were about recruiting me."
Which position Tech is recruiting him for: "I believe they are recruiting me as an athlete. They haven’t really said yet. I will bring a lot of heart, loyalty, athleticism, size and speed."
Schools recruiting him the most right now: "Right now I have offers from Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston and I am in contact with Clemson and Notre Dame has also reached out via email. I went to the Clemson camp this summer and their coaches are in contact with my coach and myself. I have also had some contact with other schools through email."
Upcoming visit plans: "We will be traveling to Baylor and Houston in October and we'll see what pops after that."
