WHY MINNESOTA: "It has been my dream to go here since I was a little kid. Both of my parents were student-athletes at Minnesota, so I grew up bleeding maroon and gold. Growing up walking around campus and going to games for every sport all year round grew a love for the school that I couldn't find anywhere else. After talking a visit of campus and many great conversations with coach McDevitt, I knew it really was the place I wanted to spend the next four years of my life."
