Thoughts on the camp: "The camp was great and well organized. The competition was at a high level and I liked it. I felt like I competed pretty well."

Overall recruitment: "I have four offers right now and I was excited about all of them. Texas Tech, obviously in the Big 12, and Arizona State being in the Pac-12, was really cool but I was excited about all of my offers."

What is important when looking for a school? "The biggest thing is the relationship with all of the coaches and somewhere that I feel is like a home. I want to play somewhere the coaches will always keep it real with me and at a place that I know I will feel safe."

Upcoming Junior Day visit: "I plan on coming up to Lubbock for the Junior Day on March 4th and I definitely want to come up to a home this upcoming season."

Decision timeline: "I would like to have my decision made sometime in the summer. Sometime in August so I don't commit too early or commit too late."
