Camp Bullitt goals: "I'm trying to show off my speed a little bit. I've been working hard and hopefully I can shine in that aspect of the game."
Motivation with college coaches watching: "Just hoping to be able to show them something so they can write my name down."
Interest in Texas Tech: "I think it'd be awesome to play in my hometown. If they gave me the opportunity, I would highly consider it.
I went to a few games last year thanks to coach Yost, but it's just awesome what they've got going on down there."
Illinois State offer: "It excited me when I got the offer. Turned my dreams into reality, but I'm not done yet."
Junior season goals: "I want to win state. That's our ultimate goal as a team, and I feel like we're ready."
Staying busy during quarantine: "I've got a gym that I go to everyday. I run in my neighborhood sometimes, try to go to the field and run. Mixing it up a little bit, a lot more time to work out due to this quarantine, so I think it's been good. It's been good for me at least."
