The 19-year-old from Vaughan, Ont., announced his decision on Friday after two standout years at the University of Georgia.
"Very exciting. I guess I always look at it, maybe the older you get, the less emotions you have. But because I’m only 19, I’m only a kid, it’s really cool," he said."Only last year, I didn’t even think I could be good enough to go to a school or ever be a pro. I never thought I could be this good."
"I just feel as though I've got to go out there, compete with the pros, live out the dream and see what I’m capable of. That’s the only way that I’m going to be able to grow as a person and as an athlete," he said.
