The college life

First contact with the Huskers:Â "The first contact was about six months ago, they came at me late. Of course coming from (Central Florida) they apologized that they were so late, but they just begged me to take a look, and I did and fell in love with the school."

Date committed: June 6.
On his recruiter, inside linebackers coach Barrett Ruud: "He’s a young guy. He just got out of the league (NFL). I just can learn so much from him and I’m just excited for what I can learn."

Mel Kiper would say: “As big as he is, he’s pretty quick. His football IQ is pretty high, and he’s a playmaker.â€
Quick hits
On his quote when he committed to Nebraska saying that he’d visited about 100 college campuses before making his decision: “It was a little bit of an exaggeration, (but I’ve been making visits since my freshman year when I got my first offer). I’ve been to all of the SEC schools, pretty much all of the Big Ten schools, a lot of the Pac-12 schools. I’ve just kind of been all over the country. I’ve been to the top programs, visited the top schools, the top coaches, the top players and none of them did it like Nebraska did. It was kind of unbelievable to me that coach (Scott) Frost took 100 percent of his staff from UCF to Nebraska. That meant a lot in how he coaches and what kind of man he is and his competitive nature. And of course the campus at Nebraska is second to none. Big stadium, big-time football, good school, all of the above really for me. It was kind of a perfect storm.â€
On high school football in Nashville: “It’s very competitive. A lot of Division I kids come out of Nashville. Tennessee is one of the top states to pump out recruits. Pretty much every team we play has three or four Division-I kids on it. It’s stacked. Every week it’s like playing a Division-I team, really. We’re in the best division in our state, so we get the best teams with the best kids. It’s a grind.â€
