Why he chose Utah Tech - "Before being recruited by Utah Tech, I didn't see myself playing in the WAC or anywhere as far as Utah. But after the first conversation with Coach [Anthony] Morris over the phone, I knew right away that Utah Tech was really invested in my recruitment. Coach Judkins and the entire staff felt like family from the jump and I could tell that my goals aligned with theirs. I'm a winner, and Utah Tech is the best place for me to go showcase my talent right away and prepare to be a pro. Although Utah Tech is a smaller school, these next few years I plan to make big noise in the conference and hopefully the tournament!"
