00:00 So just to start, initially in your recruitment, what kind of led you to OU?
00:03 What made you interested?
00:04 What really led me was the culture and the relationship I had with Coach Jones and Coach
00:08 Venables.
00:09 And so you talk about Coach Jones, what is your relationship like with him?
00:13 Me and Coach Jones, we got a good relationship.
00:15 I just like how he is truthful about everything and how he got a good connection with my mom
00:20 and wanted to meet my mom and my sisters and stuff like that.
00:23 And so in this recruiting class, there's multiple different types of receivers.
00:27 Obviously you, you got a guy like Zion Kiernan, Yvonne Carreon.
00:30 What do you think having multiple different styles of receiver that can attack the defense,
00:33 how do you think that helps?
00:35 I think it really helps a lot.
00:36 All I really got to say about that is really, the defense, they're going to have trouble.
00:40 They're going to have trouble.
00:41 They're going to have to do something.
00:43 So obviously you committed to OU when Jeff Levy was still there.
00:46 Now he's gone and been replaced by Seth Luttrell, Joe John Finley.
00:49 What's your relationship like with those two guys?
00:51 Really I haven't really talked to him like that.
00:54 Probably like around next week he was going to end up giving me a call, but I think it
00:58 will go pretty well.
00:59 What's your relationship like with Michael Hawkins, the quarterback in this?
01:03 Me and Micah, we all got a Snapchat, like the whole 24 group chat.
01:06 We got a group chat on Snapchat and we like talk every day.
01:09 Keep in touch with each other.
01:13 What's your relationship like, I know you kind of just touched on it, with some of the
01:16 other receivers in this class.
01:17 Do you guys talk the same?
01:18 Not really.
01:19 I talk to Zion and Kale, that's about it.
01:26 I know that obviously you're a really fast player, but for fans who haven't seen you
01:29 play, what would you say the biggest skill set in your game is?
01:33 Speed.
01:34 My speed, most definitely.
01:36 Is there any players that you kind of model your game after, you say you play like?
01:41 Probably Devontae.
01:42 Devontae Smith.
01:43 I heard you say that you're coming to OU in the summer, right?
01:49 Yes sir.
01:50 And so what are you kind of hoping to get when you get on campus, what are you kind
01:54 of hoping to learn before you start your freshman season?
01:56 I'm really trying to get to learn the plays and stuff like that.
02:01 What pal?
02:02 I asked that again.
02:03 What are you trying to get learned before your freshman season starts, once you get
02:08 on campus?
02:09 Really, really just, I'm really just trying to learn the plays and stuff like that and
02:12 get a great bond with the players and stuff.
02:15 And do you know who your roommate is going to be yet?
