The conversation was pretty short and to the point but I really liked the whole coaching staff especially the Head Coach. Really loved their beliefs and winning traditions and how coach Martin had turned the program around for the better. I'm excited to get started with the recruiting process and happy that it started off this way with a great school. I really liked the campus and facilities that Miami Ohio had to offer.

I was in shock a little because it was my first offer but I was very happy and knew my hard work was starting to pay off. I plan to try to communicate with the coaches when I am able to contact them and to meet with them when they come to our school during the spring. When I talked to the quarterback coach, Coach Ragland, he mentioned how he liked the way my team rallied around myself, as well as the way I worked in the pocket with my passing and touch. They also liked how I could move well.u003c/emu003eu003c/blockquoteu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ee87f4cb234"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["647290"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"I have no problem pointing out my many hits on the rankings, DiLucia, Ahmed, Gehm, all of these names were ranked high before the FBS offers came.
