What will you major in/study? Management
Why did you choose Air Force? “The Air Force Academy will provide an avenue to get a world class education and to serve my country. I have grown up near the Academy my whole life and have wanted to attend due to the after college opportunities it provides. The coaching staff at USAFA is dedicated to each player’s development on and off the field as well as building a competitive D1 program.”
HS team’s outlook for 2016 season? “I feel Air Academy will make a deep run in the Colorado 4a playoffs this season. We have a whole new coaching staff along with a strong freshman class that is ready to make an impact. We return all but 5 varsity players as well. The team will be tested against teams like Wantagh (NY) and a tough schedule in Arizona during our Spring Break trip. Overall the whole team is focused and ready to make a mark in route to a State Championship.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my Mom, Dad, and brother Noah for giving me motivation and drive to accomplish my goal. I also would like to thank friends, teammates, and all club and AAHS coaches for there support along the process.”
