ON HIS MIZZOU COMMITMENT:
"Mizzou has been with me through two different staffs and I really like what they got going on over there.

Coach (Casey) Woods was also the first coach to recruit me when he was at UAB and I feel like we’re already building a good relationship."
"Overall it just feels like the right fit for me right now and that’s why I decided to go ahead and commit."
ON TIGHT ENDS COACH CASEY WOODS:

I’ve had the opportunity to workout with him at UAB and the charisma he brings to the game is something I like. Also, he knows when it’s time to laugh and when it’s time to work. I feel like being coached by him will help me get to where I want go."
