He discussed his finalists with On3

Georgia– The first school to really recruit me hard and make me a priority. They have been excellent to me. Kirby watching my game on a  Friday night before his team played Auburn on Saturday really stood out to me.

Alabama-Nick Saban believes in my ability and offered me himself in his office. Hearing that from the GOAT carries a lot of weight.

Tennessee-I committed there to play baseball  after my ninth grade year and I was always hoping to get offered by their football program. I got that offer and now there is a good relationship with both football and baseball. 

Clemson– Clemson has always been a program that I respected. I had a great visit there a few weeks back. Meeting Dabo and chatting with him is something I’ll always remember.

Oklahoma– I am in constant communication with them. They have been good for a long time at receiver and I could see myself playing there. I think Coach Venerables is a great coach and there is an opportunity to play there.

Oregon-Oregon has shown a ton of interest in me and even getting to know my parents. I like that because my family is important to me. They play a significant role in this process.

Georgia Tech-Tech is a program on the rise. They finished strong last year.  We are in contact alot and our conversations are good. They see me getting on the field early there.

Colorado-I speak to them a lot. They give amazing feedback to me as a wide out. And then there is Coach Prime. Playing for him would be amazing. 

Penn State– I like what Coach Franklin does on offense. I felt I could play there early and get the ball to show my ability.. I have an excellent relationship with Coach Hagans as well.

Miami- The whole staff at Miami has shown a lot of love to me the past few weeks. I am  interested in knowing more about their program and getting down to visit.

South Carolina-Coach Beamer took time for my dad and I when we visited there in January. He seemed like an honest and genuine guy. Coach Stepp is my guy! I love our talks and he is for me. 

Florida State-They have been in communication with me for a while now. I really wanna see what they have to offer. I look forward to getting down there soon.

Jefferson is currently committed to play baseball at Tennessee.
