I know that the coaches from Missouri, Penn State, Michigan State, Illinois, Notre Dame and also Vanderbilt all made in school visits and they talked to my coaches about me. We are also expecting more and more coaches back in school later this month and it's always exciting when the coaches watch our morning workouts."
