However, he would like to hear from other Big 12 schools like Nebraska, Kansas State and others.

He is undecided on a major for college.
He has set his goals for next season as 10 sacks and to make it through the season healthy.
His toughest opposing player was one of the Rockhurst High School's offensive right tackles.
"Distance won't really be a factor, as I'll mainly be looking at the most comfortable fit in a program for my decision."

He is looking forward to defending the state crown next year against rival Rockhurst High School and Liberty High School.
