"Oh man, they were happy to get me it sounded like. It was good. I feel really good about it and I feel like it is the right place for me. I felt at home and they made me feel like family, I appreciate that."
The decision is coming just a day after Milton returned from his official.
"I just started thinking about how good of a time I had and what am I waiting on, why not get it over with, so I did what I had to do," he stated. "The visit was big, it actually left a lasting impression on me and is the best place for me.
"They are building a program and I like how I was treated on the official. They treated me like a player and they've always kept their word on everything. I trust everything they can tell me, that's great."
Overall, Milton is thrilled with his choice.
"I'm happy and glad I made a decision," he said. "Now I can just focus on my academics and finish off school before heading down to Starkville in June."
