JUST DOING HIS JOB
In April 2021 while competing for the University of Florida, he had the second-fastest collegiate 200m time in the United States of America, but said he was just doing his job. "[Being] number two doesn't mean anything to me. My hard work will not get paid off until I win a national title. Don't praise me for doing my job correctly." He also received 'shout-outs' on Instagram from South African sprinter Wayde van Niekerk, US sprinter Josephus Lyles and US field athlete Will Claye, but again said he was just doing his job. "I had no idea I was given a shout-out by Wayde, that's cool. It feels good to be recognised by other world-class athletes and peers. Again don't praise me for doing my job correctly."
