"This is a unique individual. He was born in Jamaica and grew up in Canada. He does not have a lot of football experience and ended up playing in New Mexico. A whirlwind tour, finally getting him into Stillwater, Oklahoma, and couldn't be more proud of an individual that has worked hard to achieve one his dreams and we look forward to having him on our football team."
