IN HIS OWN WORDS

On choosing Oct. 2 as a commitment date ...

“I wanted to do something special for her. I haven’t been able to see her during the whole quarantine stuff. She means the world to me. She’s always there for me. I love her to death.

“I’ve kind of known for a while, and with my grandmother’s birthday coming up, why not? I found out where my home would be and wanted to let the world know.”

On his finalists ...

“I love coach Sam Pittman at Arkansas and he is a big reason why Arkansas stayed in this with me. The guy he is, how down to earth he is, and I really do love him.

“Coach Hankton and coach Kirby Smart are great guys, and great coaches, plus Georgia is the home team, so they were always up there.

“Notre Dame has a great community and the connection I have with coach Alexander is big for me.”

On his decision-making process ...

“It came down to relationships, how schools recruited me and just how I felt. Things really started to become clear late in the summer and I am ready to tell everyone now.”
