“When I visited Florida, it seemed like similar to home. That’s my former Tulane D-Line coach. Thus, that was an additional benefit. My trainers had close relationships with a couple of the coaches I had on staff. Everything began to feel like home once I spoke with Coach AB, Coach Will Harris, Coach Austin Armstrong, and Coach Billy Napier. My parents were encouraging me to follow my heart as I began to feel more at ease. I felt Florida in my heart when I was with them. I believed they could help me advance and reach new heights. It seemed like we could all benefit from each other—me, them, and myself. That was the ideal location for me.

Guys that can teach me something are now there. I want to pick up knowledge from everyone. I love to learn new things. Anyone can teach you something, in my opinion. You can skin a cat a thousand different ways. I’m just eager to get started and interact with the guys at work.”
