First off, I would like to thank the Kentucky Wildcats football program and coaching staff, especially coach Hinshaw for recognizing and believing in me and my athletic ability. Secondly, I would like to thanks #BNN for treating me like family and showing me lots of love through this strenuous recruiting process. After deep conversations with my family and closest associates I feel it would be best to de-commit from the University of Kentucky. Kentucky fans and personal have been great to me, and it has nothing to do with that, and at the end of the day if it's meant to be I will still be (a part) of this great program. Please no interviews at this time.
