“First and foremost thank god for 31 offers from some of the best D1 schools in the country,” he wrote. “Growing up people would tell me that playing D1 football would be the hardest thing to accomplish. A teacher once asked me what do I want to do in college and I replied ‘Play Football’ and she said I should think of something more realistic. SHOUT OUT TO MY OLD TEACHER because I am super proud to commit to the UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.”
