Chris will team up with Marcus Jordan, Ahmad Starks (Oregon State), Anthony Johnson (Purdue), Stan Brown (Lamar), Franklin Griffin, Antonio Johnson, Sam Thompson, and other talented players on the #1 ranked team in the sate.

“It was a big thing on my back to make a decision, now it’s off I can just concentrate on my grades and this season. I took my visits and Iowa State pursued me a different way than other schools did. They came at me from an education standpoint and that’s what my family is big on. ”
