After meeting with Coach Nagy and Howard I have decided that it is best for me to ENTER THE TRANSFER PORTAL for my final year of eligibility.
Also, I want to thank Coach Bryan and the whole coaching staff for giving me an opportunity to become a Saluki. I want to thank my teammates, a great group of guys who pushed each other to be better every day. I was blessed to get to know them and play with them.
Last but not least, I want to thank SIU fans. You guys are truly amazing and you make the Banterra so special!
