Lost my main phone on the I-15 today headed to Cali. Next thing I know, I’m running down the highway retracing my steps. Looking back, God protected me from what could’ve been tragic . Sometimes you have to stop chasing what you lost and trust God with what you still have.#UNLVFB
Players, enjoy the recruiting process. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just know there’s some kid in the middle of nowhere, Nebraska, outworking you right now with no scholarship offers. Cherish these moments. #UNLV#UNLVFB

Galatians 6:9
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Your time will come. Hang in there.
If I had a reset button for college, I would have built a stronger network of people. I would have made connections that last far beyond football. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. #UNLV#UNLVFB#LasVegas
Facilities on par with some of the best in the nation, and I’m standing on it! We’ve come a long way, but the late Kobe Bean said it best: “Job not finished.” We’re building something special. #UNLVFB#UNLV#LasVegas
Recovery just got an upgrade.
Our brand new players’ recovery room, special thanks to Jeff & Debbie Dahl and @UNLVFootballF for helping us with the room.
It’s possible, but how bad do you really want it? Talent with good ol’ hard work is a lethal combination. But sometimes, it takes more.

Josh Allen reveals he had zero scholarship offers coming out of high school so he sent 1,000 emails with his highlights attached to every coach in the country, only two responded
“The email said something like, Hey, I’m Josh Allen. I’m 6’5”, 220 pounds. I feel like I’d be a great fit for your program. Here’s my Hudl. These are my stats… I literally just went copy, paste, copy, paste and sent it to every single coach I could find an email for.”
“I played in a small town called Firebaugh, California. I had zero offers out of high school. I had no preferred walk-ons. A couple Division III schools were trying to give me academic scholarships so I could go play there, but I didn’t want to make my parents pay for me to go somewhere.”
“So I went the junior college route. I felt like I was good enough to play, which is obviously why I kept going. I wanted to go to junior college, earn a scholarship and kind of pay my family back for everything they had done for me.”
“I also played football, basketball and baseball. I was a three-sport guy, so I didn’t spend my summers going around to every quarterback camp. I got the chance to play different sports, feel different emotions, meet different types of people and learn how to deal with all of it.”
“I think that’s something a lot of kids need to continue doing, play more sports. Every sport teaches you something that you can ultimately use later in life.”
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to keep showing up. Growth happens when you stay committed long enough to see the results. #thankful for another day
