Q: What/who inspired you to play the game of football?

Q: When you talk to the coaching staff, who do you speak to the most? What is their message to you in regards to joining their recruiting class?

A: "Coach Shannon. Our talks at this point are really about life. He's a person full of wisdom so I always try to be a sponge to him and pick his brain. The main message from the staff is how I can come in and lead, do great things on/off the field, and be a culture builder."

Q: I noticed that you have an official visit scheduled with the Seminoles for the weekend of June 21st. What are you most excited about to see during your trip?

A: "I'm most excited to hang out with other great recruits who are interested in FSU and being able to meet some professors on campus."

Q: How does Florida State stack up in your recruitment? Anything specific stick out to you about the Seminoles?

A: "FSU stacks up very high in my recruitment. FSU is my dream school and the love that the staff have showed me has been consistent since the day that they've offered me."

Q: As you go through your recruitment, do you have a timeline in mind yet?

A: "I don't have a specific timeline set for sure. As of right now, it's all on God's timing!"
