Thank you to Gene Smith, my teammates, Coaches, Strength Staff, Trainers, Nutritionist, C) Bamett, Equipment Services, Media Team, SASSO, and everyone working in the WHAC for helping me become the best person I can be on and off the field. The success that I have had individually could not have been accomplished without every single one of you and I appreciate you all for the help and support.
To my family and loved ones. I thank and appreciate all the support and love that has been given to me throughout my life and the sacrifices made to get me to where I am today.
To Yone 5, there is not a better group of coaches and players that I would have wanted to spend my college career with. From the competition on the field, the long nights catching passes and watching film, to the bonding off the field, I will always appreciate the moments we had. Continue the Legacy.
To Buckeye Nation, the love I received from you all in the Shoe and on the road will be moments | chenish forever. and I hope I left lasting memories for you on the field. I appreciate the support these past three years. Buckeye for life.
