Why did you pick Illinois? Take me back to that decision.
It was close to home, and I had seen a lot of friends from back home come here, like Juice Williams. I was younger than him, so I kind of looked up to him. I wanted to come here because of him. So when I got the opportunity, I knew this was where I wanted to be. It's not far, so my mom can come down and see me. Also, Coach Zook and the family atmosphere here. He's a man of his word. He sticks to what he says. He doesn't lie in recruiting.
