Oklahoma signee Aaliyah Chavez reveals who she's most excited to face in college

In an interview at the McDonald's All-American Games in April, Aaliyah Chavez, alongside fellow McDonald's All-American stars, revealed which team they're most excited to face in college next season.

"I think mine is South Carolina for sure." Chavez said. "At their place, though. I just feel like the environment is going to be different down there."

Other players featured in the interview, including Jazzy Davidson, Aaliyah Crump, Mia Pauldo, and others, also shared their thoughts.

"Any SEC game, but I would say LSU, South Carolina." Crump said.

"SEC fan bases don't play. I would definitely say South Carolina, Texas as well, because our fan bases are strong." said Mia.

"Probably UCLA, just because I feel like that rivalry." said Davidson.

Aaliyah Chavez chose Oklahoma over South Carolina, which was among her final five schools in the recruiting race.
