Throughout the recruiting process, the two-star prospect has been hearing from safeties coach Jami DeBerry, defensive coordinator Clayton White, and head coach Mike Sanford

"They all are just good people they want to no more them just football they want to know what's going on in my life and how I'm living and they really are concerned about me as a person outside of football."
