The duel sport athlete has been nothing but impressive since he started his athletic career. The nationally ranked shot put thrower nearly broke the all-time high school record in his Olympic silver medalist father's event and has won back-to-back championships in that event.
He is also a monster offensive lineman who has captured the hearts of Mario Cristobal and his coaching staff. He will also make a return to Coral Gables this weekend with a massive number of recruits heading down in the second weekend of official visits for the Miami Hurricanes.
