"Can’t rush greatness. Accomplishing goals I’ve always prayed for and achieving the unthinkable. It really go to show you anything is possible regardless the circumstance. My journey is bigger then me I do it for my family, my city and the ones that look up to me, so i’ll keep being the blueprint til god say it’s my time to drop the ball," he had captioned the post.
"High school was always smackin😂😂 I’ll never forget the memories and endless time in the gym. It’s time to go make history in the SEC❤️."
