I want to thank my family and loved one for their constant love and support throughout my life. Your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. To my coaches and teammates, thank you for everything you have done for me. I wouldn't be in the position I am now if it wasn't for you guys. To K-State Nation - I appreciate the support and love you guys have shown me since I stepped on campus. With that said, I have decided to forgo my senior season and enter the 2025 NFL draft."
