Began to notice the potential of this young man at our Spring Showcase and it looks like his senior year is off to a great start. While his Blue Ridge squad is 2-0 the senor picked up an offer from Coach Montanez and Stevenson University. I know Coach liked what he saw at our showcase too not surprised to see the Mustangs pull the trigger. He is so quick off the snap and would fit well in Stevenson’s offense.

I'm extremely grateful and blessed to receive offer from Stevenson University and thankful to @CoachMontanez for the opportunity and for believing in me. @PrepRedzone @PrepRedzoneVA @brsbaronsfb pic.twitter.com/J6JONlllj1
