Why did you choose the school? “Ohio St. is a great school that has amazing academic and great academic support. From a lacrosse stand point it has it all: a great coaching staff as well as outstanding lacrosse facilities. Its where I felt I really could succeed in academics and in lacrosse When I visited, I just loved the campus and the atmosphere it has. Also the tradition that Ohio state has is something that I really wanted to be a part of.”
Thoughts on this past HS lacrosse season/team’s outlook for next season? “The past two years we have lost in the district championship and then the State quarterfinals.

I would also like to thank my NXT2016 team for pushing me to be the player I am today. A huge thank-you to my parents for all the support they gave me on my decision as well as taking me all across the county to play and visit schools.”
