I liked all the players when I went up there to visit, and the town is similar to Paris. It will be neat to play in the Big 12, and I'm ready to go to school. I was told I might have a chance to play right away, and that played a big part in my decision.

Our coaches took care of me for four years. They pushed me hard and inspired me to be the best I could to get to this level.

Broderick is a good guy and was a great back for us. It's a good thing that both of us will be able to play football in college.
