I am grateful to the staff for providing me an opportunity to represent Texas as a student-athlete. While trying to navigate through this recruiting process, I’ve had numerous conversations with my family and have come to this very difficult decision.

At this time, I will be decommitting from the University of Texas and reopening my recruitment.

Again, thank you.
