What will you major in/study? Business
Why did you choose this school? “High Point felt like a home since day one. The people are great, the location is amazing, and the campus cannot be topped. Coach (Jon) Torpey really made me feel like I was a part of the family already. The program is doing very well in its early years and I see a lot of success in its future.”
HS team’s outlook for 2016 season? “We got a new coach (Luke Wiles), a former MLL player and Delaware alum, that I think is really going to turn our program around. I think we’re going to have a lot of success this year.”
People to thank: “I want to thank all of the coaches at NXT because I would have never gotten into this process without them. I want to thank all of the coaches from my grade school club years for all of the development they have pushed for. And I’d like to thank my parents for being with me and supporting me the whole way.”
Other schools considered: Albany, UMass
