Earning Texas Tech offer: "It was coach (Shiel) Wood, he called and asked me to come to camp. So I was like, yeah I'm gonna come to camp because I was really excited about Texas Tech. He said he was gonna offer me if I had a good day at camp. And that's what I did, I went out and I competed. Ran some good times, had my best 40, my best vertical, my best broad jump."
