Recruits…. If you message me and spell my name wrong, which is on my profile spelled the correct way. Odds are I won’t respond. I’m looking for athletes who love this game and pay attention to detail… it’s also just disrespectful! 😂 #takethetime #copyandpasteworkstoo.

Hard to believe that 19 years ago I played football for the 1st time. 19 years later I’m still in love with this game. I’m so grateful that @CoachChoate_MSU @CoachGregorak gave me this opportunity to learn and grow and I hope to make them proud in my next step. #GOCATSGO #GoBeavs

Appreciate @Coach_Smith for being a part of the solution. We have to continue to send the message. HATE IS UNACCEPTABLE. Extremely disappointed, but actions define people. I hope you will all keep fighting for LOVE and UNITY. #lovewithus.

Lots of guys reaching out to DII coaches talking about looking for a scholarship! Scholarships are hard to EARN. Just because you are leaving a DI doesn't mean you deserve a scholarship. The film has to be there! #ForTheLoveOfTheGame.

Try to remember that when you call someone something other than their name, no matter how harmless you think it is, whatever you called them could have caused a lot of pain or issues in their life. Labels are unnecessary. We are all human.

I’m glad somebody said it! This is about money and power for the people at the top. Hope we can find a way to protect all the student athletes (not just football) from the hardships this decision created for their life. College is hard enough as a student athlete.

Has been a pleasure watching this young man grow. Proud of him on and off the field. A degree and a few awards and more to come? Not bad @HamilcarRashed.
The Lott Impact Trophy stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity. I’m blessed to be considered for this trophy. Through the good and all the bad. I remain to want to make an impact with my story and how I attack everyday life as a athlete.
