"Then his heart broke in a different way. He found out his coach, T.J. Otzelberger, would be taking the job at UNLV.
"Kind of heartbreaking, honestly, because I loved South Dakota State. I loved everything about it. I would have stayed there all my years," he's telling me but Otzelberger was a big reason for that love. "So you know I went and put my name in the portal and at first I was gonna just kind of decommit and then go right to UNLV. Well, man, I got every offer in the country. Like, literally."
