Feeling the Love
He talks about why most schools that cut have shown that he is a priority to their program.

Style of Offense
Having offers from some of the best offensive teams in the country is something that catches his eye during his recruitment and could ultimately be the deciding factor.
“For all eight of the schools I see that the ball is thrown around a lot, nice tempo offenses, and definitely put up points.”
After trimming down his list of schools, the big question remains on when the four-star wide receiver will make his decision.
“The decision will be made close to the beginning of the spring.”
