There are a number of things that go into making a decison for college, I say the big ones were the facilities (at Louisville) were top of the line with great equipment and the coaching there is unbelievable
Progressing athletically seems like the best place and academics are top of the line there
Family in Louisville, KY and FCA were also important

I’m just excited for him to have this opportunity that he worked hard for
All the effort and all the time has just paid off, he’s super excited for what’s in store for him
It’s a blessing for me to have an athlete like him, a lot of it is his talent and hard work
