Unfortunately, the NCAA has not responded to my waiver request for a year of D1 eligibility. I had asked for this oppurtunity due to playing JUCO. It's disappointing to not have the opportunity to accept offers I had received while being in the portal. However I am not here to diss the NCAA. I want to thank everyone who made this journey worth it. I owe a special thanks to all my teammates I've had over the years and coaches who have given me opportunites to showcase my dedication to the game. I am forever blessed to have an amazing family who made sacrifices for me to play not only football, but youth sports as well. I couldn't have gotten to this point without y'all. Thank you to the Seward Community and Athletics Programs, College of DuPage Athletics, and the University of Indianapolis Athletics for helping me grow as an athlete while also challenging me to hold that same standard off the field. With all that being said I will be exploring other possibilities to play and or coach the game of football.
