What will you major in/study? Business
Why did you choose Nova? “Villanova is a fantastic school academically and I look forward to becoming part of the Nova Nation. I believe the awesome Coaching staff at Villanova has the program moving in a great direction, and we will compete for championships in the Big East and NCAA tournaments.
“Finally, the team is a close group of guys with a team first culture and they really made me feel apart of the team when I visited.”
Outlook for 2015 HS season? “I am really excited for this upcoming season and I believe that this team will take MBS to the next level. Although we lost only one senior last year, he was a big part of our team and a great leader.
