"I wanted to visit because of him — just how he’s talked about the place as well as the person he is," the running back said, as per On3. "I could just see the things he was saying were true. I saw that today. But just him — he attracted me to visit — as well as their recent success in football. They’ve always been a pretty good program, honestly, as well as academically. So, I had to see it for myself."
