Q: What led you to commit to Miami so early? Did the hometown factor or your brother being committed there come into play at all?

Q: Who has been your primary recruiter at Miami so far, and have you built a connection with them enough to make you feel comfortable with your college decision?
A: “Mainly coach Stephen Field and head coach Manny Diaz, and I have a great bond with them.”
Q: Are you excited that Miami is adopting a spread offense now? How could you see yourself fitting into that offense in the future?
A: “I’m excited because at Miami Central, we run a spread offense too, so I’d fit in great.”
Q: With the pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, how hard has it been to prepare and train for this season?
A: “Not that hard for me, I work out twice every day.”
