“I would like to thank Coach Holgorsen and Coach Gibson for giving me a chance that not many people get. Thank you for staying on me and coaching me to be the best player and person I can be. I cam very grateful for everything. With that being said I have talked with family and prayed over it numerous times and I have decided to forgo my senior year and enter the 2019 NFL Draft. This has been my dream since I was young and I thank everyone that has supported me along the way. I will continue to represent this great state and program wherever I go.”
