We walked through the tunnel the players walk out of. That was very exciting. Then we toured the facilities. I liked that. I talked to Coach Beamer, Coach Ball, Coach Foster, and the Defensive Backs Coach [Lorenzo Ward]. The Defensive Backs Coach told me I’m their number one cornerback on their board. He told me I could make good accomplishments on the team and that they don’t have a problem starting freshmen. He said Defensive Backs are born and not made and that he could really develop my talent if I went there.”
