With one year of eligibility remaining, I have officially decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.
First and foremost, I want to thank God for guiding me throughout this journey. I also want to thank my family, coaches, teammates, support staff, and everyone at Bethune-Cookman University who believed in me and gave me the opportunity to compete at the Division I level.
These last two years have helped shape me into the player and person I am today, and for that I will always be grateful.
