Why did you choose Chestnut Hill? “I chose Chestnut Hill because I loved the family atmosphere there. The first time I went there for a visit, I felt right at home. Coach T invited me to their senior day game and the barbecue afterwards. The players and their parents welcomed my family and I like they knew us. From the students I toured with, to the professors that told us what class would be like, I just felt welcomed.”
