WHY MINNESOTA?: "I chose Minnesota because I resonated with Coach Crawford’s philosophy of player development and felt like he gave an authentic breakdown of how the program is run during my visit. The facilities and resources for training and player development are top-notch along with supporting staff members who have much experience to aid in helping athletes reach their full potential. I felt wanted and valued during my recruitment process as an athlete and student as I received assistance to ensure I could complete my degree at Minnesota. In addition to the resources as an athlete, Minnesota is one of the best public Universities in the nation in which I will learn much on and off the field. While playing summer ball I had the opportunity to play with various Gophers wherein they all had positive things to say about the program and University as a whole-solidifying my choice and reassured my initial judgement."
