Were you able to interact with any other recruits?

“Yes, sir, I was able to talk to a [couple] players I knew from Rockledge High School (Zach Lovett and Raheim Sanders).”

Anything you want to add?

“Just that I’m so blessed to be in the situation I’m in, and I wouldn’t be where I am right now without God’s guidance.”
