“Dear Hawkeye Nation: It is with a bowed head and humble heart that I come to inform you that after careful consideration and thoughtful conversations with my family, I have decided to forego playing playing in the 2023 NFL Draft. To the coaching staff: thank you for taking a chance on a basketball player who was always a football player at heart. I appreciate you elevating my football IQ and developing me both mentally and athletically.”
