The past three years at the University of Georgia have been nothing short of amazing and I will never forget the unwavering support I have received from the greatest fans in college football.
I would like to thank my family for continuously being in my corner no matter what and supporting me through all of my endeavors up to this point. I am forever grateful for you instilling such a great work ethic into me.
Lastly, I would like to thank the entire UGA coaching and Athletic Staff as well as every instructor, mentor, and peer I have encountered during my time here. I appreciate you all for believing in me and pushing me to measures beyond what I could imagine.
After much thought and prayer, I have decided to forgo my senior year at UGA and declare for the 2022 NFL Draft."
