When I mean that when I say that , I mean don't worry about how you look on a social media , don't worry about um trying to impress like trying to be at all the Under Armour cares or how many stars you got cause the college coaches don't care about that . Care about how worried about how good you are at your sport , how athletic you are focus on your body , focus on eating , get bigger , be ready to go to college cause nowadays you have to be ready as soon as you get on campus . So if you focus on those things and you put yourself in every possible way to get into college coaches , eyes , you're gonna make it .
Like naturally , like you're gonna have to work harder to be better than everybody else . Like if you just go to the workout , the team workout and you go to the team runners and you think you're gonna get stronger and faster , you're not , you might get a little bit stronger and faster , but you're not gonna be stronger and faster than the field . So you have to like getting extra is necessary .
So I knew that , you know , jumping and catching , uh catching a lob or I don't , was real similar to catching a touchdown or head top of somebody . So I just thought it was gonna be a smooth transition . It was my junior year I didn't get any recognition at all .
I'm at Florida Atlantic University and I play football so early on in my high school career , I was actually playing basketball , which has not been the sport I played in college . But the best um advice a mentor I ever gave me was probably to stay the course and just don't give up , like , just be confident in yourself and your ability or whatever it is because it can , it carries over to whatever sports you play . I thought football was a better fit for me when I just was realizing how slow my recruiter was going for basketball due to COVID and there's only 15 spots on a basketball roster .

So there's only so many spots for every high school guy and when more guys have more eligibility , that's less spots for the high school guys .
