Um it's a good atmosphere . It's a great college town . And then for me personally that I I have great people around me in the wrestling community, my coaches, my teammates, um and everyone around me is just very optimistic .
Some of the challenges I've faced uh just getting into the college room and kind of I feel like when you go to college, you have a little bit of a setback, especially your your first year um into college just cuz you're uh you have to come to a new place and and kind of figure out stuff on your own . So, I think just coming to a a college and figuring out uh the people you want to be around um how you want to grow is just a little setback you have to face . My recruitment process was pretty hectic .
um for weight cutting stuff . Some of the challenges I've faced uh just getting into the college room and kind of I feel like when you go to college, you have a little bit of a setback, especially your your first year um into college just cuz you're uh you have to come to a new place and and kind of figure out stuff on your own . So, I think just coming to a a college and figuring out uh the people you want to be around um how you want to grow is just a little setback you have to face .
So then it it kind of makes the the wrestling part easier . My goals for the next three years of college is to just continue to develop and learn um and have fun doing that with my teammates, my coaches, everyone around me . Obviously, the big goal is to be a national champ in wrestling, but that that's not uh all of my life .
I started out um committing to the University of Oklahoma and then there was a coaching change . So I I committed my junior year of high school and then my senior year there was a coaching change of high school and I decided to kind of look at other schools . Went on a couple visits and then uh found Madison, Wisconsin and decided to come here for somebody uh in high school looking at the recruitment process and kind of going through that .
