I went from being injured missing 3 months with no offers or stars to my dreams of being a D1 ATH coming true. It's crazy how God works! #AGTG To the younger ATH following me, don't let anything keep you from your goals even when it seems impossible. It takes a crazy amount of hard work and discipline but I'm proof it can & does happen" (Tweet). Retrieved June 13, 2026 – via X (formerly Twitter).
