Hustle Belt was able to reach out to Overton to see why he thought Buffalo was the right fit for him.  "First, a great coaching staff, and great academics!" he told Hustle Belt. Overton also explained that his main priority is to get his college degree, but would also like to help the Bulls win conference championships and play in bowl games.

Overton is listed as an athlete, and his speed and athleticism allowed him to play defensive back and wide receiver at Brush High School.  However, Buffalo is viewing him as a wide receiver, punt and kick returner.

Overton is Buffalo's fourth commit to their 2016 class and will join fellow 2016 quarterback commit Max Bortenschlager as the hopeful quarterback-wide receiver combination of Buffalo's near future.
