Wolf Pack Nation,
Thank you for a truly blessed Senior season. Nevada has been a place of transformation and memories I'll always treasure. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunities this program has given me.
To God: Thank you for blessing me with the sport I love and been playing since I was three years old. Thank you for allowing me to use the gifts you blessed me with to praise you. I’m truly blessed and wouldn’t have made it this far without you.
To my coaches: thank you for always believing in me, and for the opportunities to prove myself on the biggest stage. I wouldn’t be the player and man I am today without your guidance.
To my teammates: it was a blessing to compete alongside you. The brotherhood we've forged and the battles we've went through together will stay with me forever. Thank you for always pushing me to be my best every single day.
To our fans: your support, energy, and pride fueled me through every game. Playing for this fanbase has been a fun.
To my family: I couldn’t have come this far without your love, sacrifice, and your belief in my dreams. You've been my foundation, my motivation, and my greatest blessing. Thank you for standing beside me every step of the way.
With deep gratitude for my time at Nevada and confidence in the journey ahead, I am excited to declare for the 2026 NBA Draft.
