“What stood out the most was the consistent communication that I had with the staff. That even was with my family. They made sure we felt I was a priority for their program and would fit into their culture. Besides them making sure I could see myself fitting into their offense, academically having a degree from the Big house is definitely the move.”

“I felt having a degree from Michigan would solidify my future Beyond the sport. Every visit with Coach Bellamy and the staff just felt real, and the OV with the team, some commits and hopefully some soon to be commits was a real authentic vibe.”

“I talk to a lot of the staff, I have just had more time to build a good relationship with Coach Bellamy, and Coach Moore. Coach Bellamy and Coach Moore let me know they like my speed, and ability to change gears, my twitch and hands, all around players that’s willing to put in the work and be used in slot, special teams or where I’m needed.”
