“I love everything about Oregon State. The chance to play and what I can do for that program is cool. I can have an impact on the whole community. Me, coach Tibs, coach Smith and really everyone in the program have talked like ten plus times.”

“They have really great fans and a really friendly environment. I don’t know, there is just something special about them. Me and the coaches have a really tight bond, especially me and coach Campbell. My visit there was good.”

“They show me a lot of love. They have been in it for a while. I am debating on whether I want to take a visit there or to Houston in a couple weeks.”

“That was the craziest game I have ever been to. It caught my eye. They are a surging program too, so for them to beat Oklahoma, that was crazy. Me and coach Anderson have a good relationship.”

“Me and the D line coaches there have a really tight bond. They have been on me hard the past couple weeks. They are a surging program and I like that too.”

“I have been talking to coach Early since February. We talk all the time and he finally got the chance to pull the trigger on me. He is really excited and wants me over there. It means a lot because he worked hard to get me that offer.”
