I’m thankful for the coaching staff and entire community for the opportunity to be a part of an incredible culture. To my teammates, thank you for an incredible year. I loved every moment competing alongside my brothers and being a part of a historic season.

“I have decided to enter the transfer portal to explore my options and determine the best path forward for my future.
