He released a statement to go with his NFL Draft declaration as well.
“First off, I want to thank God for blessing me with the talent to play this game and be a difference for the people around me,” it read. “I would not be here today without His grace and glory. I want to thank my family and everyone who has been a part of my journey for keeping me motivated and focused throughout the years. Thank you to my mom for speaking life into me and encouraging me through all the hard times.
“I also want to thank all the coaches that have been in my life from park ball to now. Thank y’all for believing in me and giving me the blueprint to be great! Thank you to Gator Nation for welcoming me in with open arms and being with me through all the ups and downs. You all have made this home for me and a place where I can come back to any time.
“With that being said, I want to announce that I am declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft! I pray that God continues to guide me through my journey in the NFL.”
