I am so grateful for the many offers that I have received. After great consideration, I am proud to announce that I accept the offer from the University of Cincinnati. It felt like family. #bearcatnation pic.twitter.com/kKzfHTozvV
He is a labeled a 3-star prospect by both 247sports and Rivals.
From looking at his frame you can tell he is a guy they can add some extra weight to his frame and still keep quickness and explosiveness in his game.
