The prospect told 247Sports that Nebraska freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola significantly influenced his recruitment.

“Me and Dylan Raiola have been in contact for a while now and he’s been pushing for me to join him. Nebraska is going to be a great fit. I’m going to love him as my QB — who wouldn’t want a five-star as their QB?”
