The center had this to say about why he decided to leave Winston Salem for Lexington.

With everything that has happened the last 2-3 weeks, I’ve had a lot to think about and consider. If I’m being honest it’s been an emotional struggle for me . Coach Manning and the staff were family to me . After thinking deeply about it , talking with my support system and weighing my future , I just don’t feel like I could be at my best by returning to Wake Forest. “according to https://twitter.com/sarr_olivier/status/1258073449676800000/photo/1
