Why did you choose Ohio State? “As soon as I walked onto the campus I knew there was something very special about Ohio State. The academics are outstanding and the veterinary program is one of the best in the country. The campus is awesome and the facilities are unequaled. The coaching staff works hard to build a balance between academics and athletics. Coaches (Nick) Myers, (Andrew) Baxter, (Dave) Dobbins are all great. I can’t wait to be coached by them.”
