Where were you when you were offered by MTSU and what was your immediate reaction?

I was in my room, and when I heard the news I was excited, and felt like I had accomplished something I have been waiting for.

Who from MTSU has been recruiting you? What do you like about that guy?

Have you visited MTSU? Do you have plans to visit MTSU?

No, I haven’t visited MTSU, but I plan on doing so.

Describe your basketball game. What are your strengths, and what are things you need to work on going forward?

My strengths are getting by my defender (on offense), being able to use my body, and finishing at the rim, making plays for my teammates. And (there is) my ability to shoot the ball at a high clip. One thing I am going to work on in the future is my quickness in my game.

What is your role on the team for Greenforest? What makes you guys such a good team?

My role for Greenforest is basically to be myself and help the team in many ways that I can do so. I don’t have any limits, my coach lets me play my game. Our chemistry as a team is actually great, and that is what took us through the season and made us better throughout the year. It actually was one of the best Greenforest teams since the (last) three to four years.

What position do you see yourself playing at the next level?

I see myself playing the point guard position at the next level.

What other schools are you interested in? Do you expect offers from other certain teams?

Appalachian State University, Presbyterian are some (of the) other schools looking at me.

What are you doing during the Covid-19 quarantine period?

During this quarantine I am just working out twice every day and continuing to do other things outside of touching a basketball, which will help my game rise.
