On choosing Oklahoma State over his hometown of Houston in the transfer portal…

"Being in your hometown, there could be a lot of distractions and all that kind of stuff. You got family, people around leeching and stuff like that. I feel like being away was best and being around the staff that I'm with is more people that care about you outside of football, not just what you can do for them on the field. I feel like Stillwater and the coaching staff were the best option, in my opinion.

On the sudden impact of the transfer portal…

"The process is definitely crazy. Who would have thought I'd be in Oklahoma playing ball? Everything happens for a reason. I'm happy with my decision for sure and ready to display what I can do for the team."

On how his speed has impacted his play…

"I was 10.2 [in the 100 meters] in high school, senior in high school… I pretty much always knew that I was the fastest in the group. When I really knew, once I started seeing times, I started seeing who I was running against. Even in football, even on the tape, you'll see nothing but speed."

On how head coach Eric Morris has brought the team together…

"I feel like it's just how he is. He does everything he wants to be together. I feel like it just carries over from his family all the way to us in football."

On how he doesn't think of his size as a disadvantage…

"I've always been, up until middle school, average. Everybody was about the same height, but once we got to high school, I got to really see the difference in size and stuff like that. I chose to not let that affect me and just use what I got, like my God-given speed and quickness, to my ability."

On the difference between OSU and Wake Forest…

"Everything is a bit different. Wake Forest, private school with about 5,000-8,000 students. School itself is just bigger here. Of course, it was a high academic institution in Wake Forest. As far as football, I'd say play style, with coach Morris and the staff coming over here, moving more towards the air raid side. At Wake Forest, it was more RPO-ish. I caught a lot of screens, which you'll see on tape, but I'd say the style of play."

On the best part of being in Stillwater…

"I'm a little closer to home. I can actually drive home now. At first, I could. Well, I could, but it would be like a day. Definitely blessed to be here."
