Official visit in Lubbock: "My official visit was nice! I liked how the coaches set it up for me. One of the highlights was really getting to know the coaches because before coming here, I had only spoken to them over the phone. By being able to talk to them in person, I feel I was able to get the chance to know them. Another highlight for me was being able to watch film with secondary coach Marcel Yates."
