Looks like we have Mariota, Buckner, Taggart, and Leavitt to thank for his commitment. He's still recovering from a shoulder injury, which he hopes is ready for fall camp but is willing to redshirt if it isn't.

“It’s a blessing I can’t take for granted. I just gotta have the mind-set of working hard and competing, and trying to get better.”

Looking for this kid to be successful in life, with that attitude!

He seemed really thoughtful and well put together in his announcement. He even went so far as to thank his younger siblings. He's nasty on the field, but he doesn't seem like he carries that with him in the slightest off the field.

Sounds like your classic Poly kid. Good off the field and well grounded. On the field is a monster.
