He revealed his decision June 26, then posted a video on X with more details on his decision June 27.
“In high school I knew I had something special,” he said in the video. “That’s when I wanted to come somewhere I could be developed. Later in high school I realized I could graduate early that’s when I knew I had to find a coach that was right for me. And that’s when I realized where home is and I am here right now.”
The video ended with him sitting with wide receiver coach Mike Furrey which was taken during his official visit on June 20.
