“South Carolina,
“Thank you. Thank you for giving my family and I a home when we didn’t know where home was. Thank you for the roars at Williams-Brice Stadium. Thank you for the smiles, hugs, handshakes and warm greetings. I will forever be grateful for this state and the life I found after losing my brother.
“Thank you for the silence at the beginning of every third quarter in support of mental health awareness. That silence has helped “destigmatize mental health for student athletes all over the world. That silence has prompted so many others to no longer remain silent in their suffering. Thank you for keeping my brother’s name alive by raising three fingers and supporting Hilinski’s Hope.
“Thank you to Coach Muschamp, Coach Beamer, Coach Shaw and the entire coaching staff at South Carolina, I grew as a person and as a player because of the challenges I was facd with and the teaching that came along with those challenges.
“To my past and current teammates, I am forever grateful for you guys. I love you and I was happy walking into 6 a.m. weights and runs because I got to see you guys. You picked me up when I was down and ran with me when I was standing. You guys are my family and I will always be here for you like I know you will always be there fo rme.
“This has been the hardest decision I have had to make in my entire life. It pains me writing this letter knowing what I am leaving behind. It is with a heavy heart I have decided to enter the transfer portal to fulfill the promise I made to myself and my brother.
Forever To Thee.”
p.s. Muschamp you couldn't teach me to play QB but maybe i can teach you how to be a class act
