00:00 >> Tell me about some of the offers that you've got already, USC, Oklahoma,
00:04 Oregon, some pretty good offers.
00:05 >> Not to mention Baylor and Vandy's up there too.
00:09 >> Okay.
00:11 >> What's been fun about the recruiting process so far?
00:14 Or what's been a challenge?
00:15 What stands out to you?
00:17 >> Pretty much, I think the funnest thing is having my parents and
00:20 my family being able to have an experience along with me.
00:27 It's pretty cool to be from a small school and be able to go out there and
00:31 secure some offers from a lot of prominent schools.
00:36 So I think that's probably the coolest.
00:38 >> You've gotten some offers, as I said, from some impressive schools.
00:42 Have you not taken any visits to those schools?
00:46 >> Visits, like been to the school?
00:48 >> Yeah.
00:48 >> Baylor, I've been to OU, I've been to SOU, UNT, and some others.
00:57 >> Okay, anything about those schools that stand out to you?
00:59 >> Baylor's facilities, they got a brand new stadium, football facilities,
01:04 pretty nice.
01:05 OU's atmosphere in their crowd is insane.
01:08 SMU was really good last year.
01:13 I liked how the running backs progressed throughout the season.
01:16 And I think that's pretty much it.
01:19 >> Let's talk about OU.
01:20 When did you go to Norman?
01:21 >> I've been there a couple of times.
01:23 I went to a spring game, which was packed just for a spring game.
01:27 So I mean, if a spring game was packed like that,
01:30 you can only imagine a real game.
01:31 And then I went to a real game not too long ago, where I met up with DeMarco,
01:36 Coach Murray, and just chopped it up.
01:40 Again, their fans are insane.
01:41 >> Okay, how did your most recent visit go?
01:45 Tell me about DeMarco,
01:47 tell me about some of the things you did on campus and stuff like that.
01:52 >> I think the most recent one might have been, it was a game day.
01:57 Every time I go to OU, I meet some famous people, so it's always pretty cool.
02:02 >> Who did you meet?
02:03 >> I've met the Chiefs safety, Baker Mayfield.
02:07 I've met Marquise Brown, Hollywood.
02:10 I don't think, famous wrestler, I forgot what his name was.
02:17 But, I'm sure.
02:18 >> Okay, so in terms of that was your last visit was during the season?
02:23 >> Yes, sir. >> You remember what game that was?
02:24 >> Not exactly, no sir.
02:29 >> Okay, but was that a night game?
02:33 >> Yes, sir, they had their lights turned on,
02:35 you downloaded the app, got onto the lights.
02:37 >> DeMarco, what kind of coach are you?
02:39 You were talking about your relationship with him, how the offer kind of came about.
02:42 >> Yeah, he keeps it straight up.
02:43 We've been chopping up for a long time, going back and forth,
02:47 trying to get my tape to the head coach.
02:49 I mean, he's trying to get a recruiter.
02:51 He's a really cool dude, always keeps it on.
02:53 >> Does the fact that he played in NFL as the player of the year,
02:58 NFL player of the year, stuff like that, does that affect recruits?
03:01 Do you guys see that you can relate to him a little bit more?
03:04 >> I mean, we know that he knows how to get to the league.
03:08 He knows what we need to do.
03:10 He knows what drills actually work in game and not just regular oil drills.
03:17 He's definitely got a great offensive mind, so maybe a little bit, we'll see.
