So I definitely try to get better at the things that I'm not necessarily the best at or I need to cut corners or make sure I get better and at the small things in this area , uh just try to do as many hard things or things that are difficult for me as possible . Uh My recruitment process , my recruitment process is actually uh , a little different than the normal recruiting process . I actually didn't have a single offer , a single interest or even had a conversation with the college coach about football until my 11th grade year of high school .

So I just look for any opportunity to get a little bit of extra time on the field on my own to work on individual skills because our time to scrimmage and play at full speed with a full field is limited . Um My recruitment process was a bit interesting . I started out my recruitment process my freshman year of high school and started having those phone conversations and then we went into the dead period where the NCAA started the um band until uh the summer going into your junior year .

So pretty much got my name out there just traveling and going to different things uh year round . So my recruitment process was a unique one . pretty much I had a lot of different colleges start to offer me , uh , probably early in my junior year right after my , uh sophomore year coming to an end , I started to see a lot of different offers .

But um the one thing I did to kind of get over that is just kind of remember that it's a game that I love to play and just like the reason why I play it and just going back to the basics . So the recruitment process for me looked a little different than it would look . Now , um , with the new rules of when you can talk to coaches in colleges , but I began talking to colleges when I was about 1213 and I ended up committing when I was 14 .
