Early life
Skinner is from Claremore, Oklahoma.[1] He attended Claremore High School where he competed in football, soccer and track and field.[2] He placed fifth at the state high jump championships in 2019 and also had an offer to play for the national under-18 soccer team.[2] In football, he played as a wide receiver and was a member of the varsity team for three years, totaling 59 receptions for 759 yards and nine touchdowns during that time.[3] Skinner missed most of his senior year due to a torn ACL.[2] Ranked a two-star recruit, he had only a few offers from NCAA Division II-level schools, which wanted to convert him to defensive back.[2] He instead committed to play college football for the Kansas Jayhawks as a walk-on.[4]
