PERSONAL
- Why Tennessee: "I chose to attend Tennessee because it feels like home to me. The atmosphere around athletics is unmatched. It makes me want to work harder and perform better. Playing for proven, trusted coaches in the SEC is an incredible opportunity. Additionally, the people of Knoxville have great hospitality and the liveliness within the town feels so inviting. It's great to be a Tennessee Vol."
