Interesting Story
Was never looked at as someone who could be an elite caliber athlete through high school. Was good but definitely not one of the top prospects. My grades were poor, and ended up going to a junior college for my first 2 years.(Louisburg College). Got my grades in order, and broke multiple school records. By the time I graduated, Nick Bias offered me a full ride to the University of Charleston in West Virginia. Where I would go to get my bachelor’s degree, masters degree, and as well as break multiple school records as well.
