Why did you choose Hartford? “I went for my second visit in December and felt a very good vibe. Coach (Corey) Bulken also came over from Ohio state to be the new Offensive Coordinator this year, which is a great step. They made it feel like home and after the new coaching changes over past 2 years, I really see it going in right direction. They even won the Conference in 2016. I see the whole school is developing a lot by the time I get there and they also have a great business school.”
HS team’s 2018 outlook: “I couldn’t play 10 games of 2017 due to transfer rules so we didn’t do as well as we could have. But we are looking to build off our season last year when we only had a few seniors and also a brand new coach. He is developing our lacrosse team as one of best around. We have lots of talent and we are super young. We are looking to win our league and take a good run in counties and states.”
Thank You: “Huge thank you to God; my family (especially parents); my coaches, Coach Armstrong and Riot; my teammates who helped me develop over the years, especially with NJ Riot; and my friends who have pushed me all the way.”
