WEBVTT

00:08.340 --> 00:12.090
Yeah . Uh Thank

00:12.090 --> 00:14.840
you . Um but S . M . U . I just felt

00:14.840 --> 00:17.110
like it was a great fit . Uh Everything

00:17.110 --> 00:19.450
was uh everything just felt real good .

00:19.450 --> 00:22.040
They coach jones uh promised me that

00:22.040 --> 00:24.180
he'll be there for the next six years

00:24.180 --> 00:27.100
so that's definitely a big thing and I

00:27.100 --> 00:29.156
have a great relationship with Coach

00:29.156 --> 00:31.322
Ryan Bold and uh they always have good

00:31.322 --> 00:33.433
receivers that Have over 80 catches a

00:33.433 --> 00:35.433
year . So it was definitely a great

00:35.433 --> 00:35.350
offense for a receiver .

00:41.440 --> 00:42.860
Yeah . Mhm .

00:45.040 --> 00:47.630
It started in the summer when we went

00:48.140 --> 00:50.620
the 77 S . M . U . For our goon squad

00:50.620 --> 00:53.680
team and was met coach Ryan both and uh

00:53.690 --> 00:55.412
we kind of talked a little bit

00:55.412 --> 00:57.468
throughout the summer and then after

00:57.468 --> 00:59.523
the first game that he called me and

00:59.523 --> 01:01.634
offered me , so once that happened we

01:01.634 --> 01:03.690
had a great relationship and when we

01:03.690 --> 01:05.801
talk to each other every week and him

01:05.801 --> 01:08.023
being from South Bend and so he kind of

01:08.023 --> 01:10.190
relates to me in all my situation . So

01:10.190 --> 01:12.246
it's just definitely great to have a

01:12.246 --> 01:14.246
coach , it's from the same area and

01:14.246 --> 01:13.570
understands the things that you go

01:13.570 --> 01:16.540
through . Okay . Yeah .

01:18.140 --> 01:21.620
Yeah . Uh I'd say frustrating . Uh I

01:21.620 --> 01:23.676
mean not getting like the big offers

01:23.676 --> 01:25.842
that I wanted , but at the same time I

01:25.842 --> 01:27.898
couldn't be more happy with going to

01:27.898 --> 01:30.009
smes , so I'm definitely excited just

01:30.009 --> 01:32.231
to have the opportunity to play college

01:32.231 --> 01:34.287
for , but a good school uh in sme so

01:34.287 --> 01:36.342
I'm just excited about it , but it's

01:36.342 --> 01:38.453
definitely frustrating just because I

01:38.453 --> 01:40.509
didn't get all those big offers . Oh

01:47.140 --> 01:49.180
yeah I'm gonna roll I think in two

01:49.180 --> 01:52.030
weeks so I'm definitely getting ready

01:52.030 --> 01:54.740
for that and definitely excited . Yeah .

01:57.040 --> 01:58.040
Mhm .

02:01.840 --> 02:05.150
No . Oh yeah , definitely . I was

02:05.150 --> 02:07.900
anxious to get my decision out there .

02:07.910 --> 02:10.370
Uh Let all the fans . No , but I mean

02:10.370 --> 02:12.314
I'm definitely happy with it . I'm

02:12.314 --> 02:14.850
definitely glad it's over it . I'm just

02:14.850 --> 02:18.690
ready to start college . Yeah . Uh

02:18.690 --> 02:22.570
huh . Right . Uh I probably made

02:22.570 --> 02:25.230
it sometime during my season . Uh I

02:25.230 --> 02:27.452
knew that I wanted to go to S . M . U .

02:27.452 --> 02:29.341
Uh Kansas jumped in the picture a

02:29.341 --> 02:31.397
little bit too late for me . Already

02:31.397 --> 02:33.452
was set on S . M . U . And I already

02:33.452 --> 02:35.397
knew that I was gonna go to the uh

02:35.397 --> 02:37.619
gonna go there . So it's definitely one

02:37.619 --> 02:39.841
of those things where Kansas was just a

02:39.841 --> 02:42.008
little bit too late . Um But I enjoyed

02:42.008 --> 02:44.119
my visit there and coach Weis and all

02:44.119 --> 02:46.119
of them are class acts , so I can't

02:46.119 --> 02:45.860
really say anything bad about them .

02:52.340 --> 02:54.451
Oh yeah , he called me about two days

02:54.451 --> 02:56.760
after my visit and uh I let him know

02:56.770 --> 02:59.740
that I was gonna go to S . M . U . Uh

02:59.750 --> 03:01.890
He was disappointed , but at the same

03:01.890 --> 03:04.057
time I have to do what's best for me .

03:04.240 --> 03:06.140
