If that's tomorrow, great. If that's during the winter, great. Either way, he's my guy, and we're sticking by him."[15] Edouard stated his decision to enroll in the winter, rather than the fall, was to have a "fresh start."[16] Edouard later transferred to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).[17]
