Have you made an on campus visit to both BYUand Ole Miss? What were your impressions of each?
I've only been to BYU. It was a pretty area, and the people were wonderful.

You've said that playing right away is your top priority. What would you say are your second and third factors in your decision?
A community fit, and chances to win a national championship.

A lot of folks would love to see you in oxford. God uses us where we are. I hope to see you at Ole Miss. I admire you for your character (who it's based on) wherever you end up.Merry Christmas to you and Hotty toddy.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that. Merry Christmas, and God Bless!

Is your choice between BYU and Ole Miss? Any other schools in the mix?
I have spoken with several other schools, but those two are the schools I think I'd fit best in, of the ones I've spoken to.
What are the top three scHools you are looking at right now?
At this point, it's kind of between BYU and Ole Miss. Unless someone else was to show more interest. But time is running short.
How big a consideration is the academics of potential schools for your services? How do the schools you are looking at stack up vs BYU in academics in general or specific fields of study?
Academics are important to me, but not really a determining factor. All the schools I'm considering have wonderful academics, so that's no longer a question. At this point I'm looking at great football situations and a community I'd fit in.
Would you go to oxford even if CKelly makes it to campus?
I don't think so. I don't even think they'd offer me if that was the case.
What other schools besides BYU are recruiting you?
At this point, I've been in contact with Ole Miss.
Selfishly want you in Provo because Taysom may not be 100% and has a history of season ending injuries. Odds are you would play. How big of a factor in your decision is starting right away?
It's important to me. I think I'm ready to play, and I'd like to play if I get the opportunity.
Oxford still possible for you?
It's a possibility. We'll see what happens.
Blown away by your faith in Christ! It's incredible to see athletes using their talents to glorify God. Best of luck wherever you play next season! (Crosses fingers for Oxford...)
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Merry Christmas, and God bless!
When will you make a decision about where you'll go next?
Most likely within the next few weeks.
How much time do you have to decide where to go next year
I'll be decided by the end of December.
Disappointed that you've bailed out on BYU. We were looking forward to your becoming a Cougar. Was it something lacking with the school in general, or some specific disappointment with the football program or coaching staff? Best wishes to you in your future career, wherever you end up going.
Haven't bailed on BYU. Coach Beck was here yesterday watching my game. I was under the impression that Taysom was going to be leaving, and now that he isn't, that hurts my chances to play.
Not a problem with the program at all, just evaluating my options to play. That's all.

How are ya?
Things are good. It's very hectic for me right now. I'm taking 29 credit hours, so school is a little overwhelming. But I am glad I got this opportunity to come out here. It's been a blessing.
You tweet Christian music lyrics but you seem to have picked up some pretty smooth dance moves. What artists are you favorite to dance to?
Lol!! Well, I didn't get to really show what can do in that video with Coach Pinkel, but I can dance to a whole lot of music. Everything from NSYNC to The Cathedrals. My roommate just got a video of me dancing to a Backstreet Boys song, when I was brushing my teeth after my shower. I didn't realize he was filming me, but it was pretty funny to watch. I dance all the time. I'd say, when it comes to versatility, I'm at my best when dancing. ;)
Have you received my letter yet? I sent it about 2 weeks ago.
Got it yesterday. Thank you for your kind words. I'll have it in the mail on Monday.
Are you a clash of clans addict???
Honestly, my clan is an awesome clan. Like, we are a legit unit of men devoted to accomplishing the same task. It's more than serious...
Lol!
Lol!
Is there any chance that you'll be back in Missouri soon?
Probably after the semester ends, I'll come back for a little bit. I miss my family.
I'm still trying to figure out something to send you to have you autograph that is easy to send in the mail. Any ideas?
Whatever you want. It can be a football, a picture, a piece of paper, or anything. Whatever you want me to sign, I'll sign.
I am staff member at Fort Osage and always enjoyed playing Staley when you were QB because you were such a competitor and they were classic battles. I have always been impressed by the person that you are and for putting Christ first in your life. I hope our paths cross again. My best wishes.
Thank you very much Coach. As much as you enjoyed them, I actually despised playing Fort O for the same reason. Because I always knew it was gonna be a battle. :) Y'all have a phenomenal program. Good luck to y'all the rest of the year.
What aspects of your game need the most work?
I am looking forward to getting back to D1 and sharpening my game film study. As much as I try here, it will be nice to have someone coaching my in a film room.
I'd like to see myself sharpen my coverage identification so I can quicken the release of the ball.
And I should probably get out of bounds/not take hits a little better than I have.

You are so kind to everyone!! Why are you such a nice guy??!
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I just love people! :)
So Glad you left MU
I'm sorry you feel that way. But I agree, it looks like it was best for everyone.
Any tips on getting recruited?
Though I think it's best to live life as selflessly as possible, I think recruiting is different. After having gone through this once already, I would advice someone else to be selfish while being recruited.
Do what's absolutely best for you, and don't fall for guilt trips.
Go to the place that "needs" you more than you need them. The absolute most important thing is to go a place that feels like they're the ones coming out ahead. You want them to think "This is our guy." Otherwise, you'll find yourself ending up somewhere that didn't want you for your play. And trust me, it's not a good feeling.
