This game is a cut throat business. So that’s why I came into this game a boss. Bouta get my fourth natty daddy like one too. I will remain ruthless and piss on this kids graveyard tonight. Remember this is chess, not checkers ;)

Max Dean. What a stellar career my man, even more important is an even more stellar human being you are. On and off the mat. Definitely a man I’d get in a fox hole with. I strive to be half the man you are and that’s still a huge climb. Love you forever bro 💪🏽❤️.

A true champion can adapt to anything. You can either run from your adversity or face it head on and conquer it. There’s only one way in and one way out and I’m going that way. This game teaches you a lot and one thing I learned for sure is my mind is absolutely bullet proof .

I was offered a big pay day too . I said go wipe your ass with that money. When it comes to money people switch like the weather. Not me. Loyalty is everything. Nothing is built without trust. PSU vs OK State in the football stadium. The national champs 10 matches to 0.

After some reflection over the past few weeks, I've decided to retire from wrestling. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years! . Pumped to transition 100% into coaching and incorporate everything I've learned over the years. Onward 💯

Traveling with Snyder, Taylor, Retherford, and Gilman to Colorado Springs is a humbling moment. They paved the way in the sport. I always studied all four of these guys when I was a kid all night long. Now I’m with the crew preparing for World and Olympic Titles. Motivating!.

i am extremely grateful to be one of the five athletes to achieve this historic moment. not only for the black community but for everyone. we need more diversity in the sport of wrestling and in all areas through this illusion of life. God bless everyone! 💪🏽❤️.
I'm really disturbed by the response from some of those in the wrestling community to the celebration of this year's historic 5 black NCAA Champions. We claim that we want to "grow wrestling" yet oppose our media outlets sharing groundbreaking developments in our sport.

Art is never finished, only abandoned. That’s how I see it. Every day, I’m sharpening my craft, working on my masterpiece—one rep, one practice, one match at a time. People talk about greatness like it happens overnight, but the real ones know it’s built in the everyday.

remain driven to perfection. Most people when they get there they lose some of that drive. Success is not continuum, its momentary and unless you keep doing all of the things you have done but even more so, to continue to improve, and get better! It’s hard but I make it look easy
