A: I visited just last week and I was very impressed with the facilities and the campus. The coaching staff was awesome. I felt very comfortable around all of the coaches. The players were very welcoming and were people I would want to be around for the next four years.

A: My thoughts on the current UW team are very high. I feel it is a building program and it is only going to get better.

Q: What should fans know about you?

A: Wyoming fans should know that I am very hard worker and at the end of the day all I want is to win.

Q: Why did you wait until second signing day to make this decision?

A: I had to wait until the second signing day because I didn’t have as many options before the first and I wasn’t satisfied with my options. Wyoming didn’t offer me until after the first signing day so I am very happy I was patient.
