So pretty much got my name out there just traveling and going to different things uh year round . So my recruitment process was a unique one . pretty much I had a lot of different colleges start to offer me , uh , probably early in my junior year right after my , uh sophomore year coming to an end , I started to see a lot of different offers .
So it was a pretty easy one . That was probably the trickiest , uh , part of my , uh , recruiting process . I would , I probably showed a lot of my , uh , determination , um , things that I wanted to do in the match being strategical about everything .
Um There's a lot of different things that will come into life . Uh A lot of different avenues that will be offered to you or you'll see and you'll wanna do but uh just staying the course and grinding , grinding everything out . Um And uh it'll all pay off and those things will come and be available to you later in life .
So that was something my dad , uh , he , he honestly wanted me to wait a little bit and review a lot of my different options , um , but took a few visits , uh , took a lot of calls and things like that , but I was ultimately , uh , all , all locked in on Ohio State . So , yeah , it was a pretty , it was a pretty easy choice , but the hardest parts for me were just letting a lot of coaches tell me a lot about what their training regimens look like . Guys , they would be able to bring in different opportunities they would have for me on their campuses and in my back in the back of my mind knowing that I was gonna have to tell them I probably wouldn't be , uh , going to their university .
Um , but I trained a lot in the summers , um , in early fall , um , with Ohio State and a lot of different of the athletes there . So I built a lot of different relationships early on with the coaches , some of the athletes , uh , I was very familiar with their training process . So , um , I committed pretty early in my junior year .
