To my family, friends, and coaches, thank you for supporting me throughout my four years at North Carolina Central University. You guys have been incredibly supportive, and I am forever grateful to have you all in my life. I love each and every one of you.

To my brothers, I will forever be thankful for the brotherhood and bond that we created at North Carolina Central University. I will always have your back, and you can always come to me about anything, just like I can come to you. The memories I have with you all, on and off the field, will be cherished in my heart forever. I love you all with everything in me.

To the Nest, thank you for everything. I will be a fifth-generation Eagle in May. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my four years anywhere else. This is my home, and I will forever be indebted to all of you. The love and support I received were like no other, and I'm blessed to have North Carolina Central University as part of my journey.
