I'm thankful for the opportunity I have ahead of me now. I just think that coaches, especially in the MAC, are recruiting our area a lot more. It's a great place for football. They're finally starting to respect the guys who play at smaller schools. I'm excited for everyone.

I heard that a lot, but never had a school say it to me. When people see the stats for guys from smaller schools, they don't respect them as much because I wasn't playing against Woodland Hills every week.
