Yesterday I graduated from the University of South Carolina. I can't wait for what's next, and with that being said, I'm happy to announce I started my full-time job at the Lexington County Chronicle today as the new sports editor. Thanks to everyone who helped me get here!

The people making these laws don’t even know how college works and we’re supposed to trust them to make the right decisions. Ok 👍🏻

Student-athletes should actually be students.

The Protect College Sports Act doesn’t guarantee that. I filed an amendment requiring athletes to be enrolled and making progress toward a degree. We are seeing too many cases where the “student” in student-athlete is becoming optional.
