Q: What advice would you give to younger recruits now that you have gone through it?
A: One piece of advice I would give to the younger kids coming up in this recruitment process is just be patient and look into all cylinders of the school, whether it be K-State or not, see what the school also has to offer off the field. And most important of all stay humble and never get big headed through the process, because there's always somebody out there working just as hard if not harder than you, so just remain patient and humble.
