"Due to personal issues I have decided to decommit from Dartmouth University (sic). I would like to extend the sincerest gratitude for the opportunity as well as ensure that I have the utmost respect for Coach Teevans (sic), his staff and Dartmouth football. However, I must do what I believe is best for my family and I.”
