What will you major in/study? Undecided
Why did you choose Binghamton? “When I visited campus and had time to sit down with Coach (Kevin) McKeown it was clear that Binghamton was a place I could see myself attending in the near future. Binghamton has a very strong academic reputation and that was very important to me.
“After speaking with Coach Mckeown on multiple occasions it was apparent that he is an outstanding man and coach and will run a very strong, well put together lacrosse team. That was something I wanted to be a part of and I am very excited for my future with Binghamton.”
HS team’s outlook for 2017 season? “I think we will have a good season this year. We have a strong group of guys coming up and they are the kind of people who are willing to put the work in. This year will be a season of many hard-fought battles on the lacrosse field but if there’s one thing Bethlehem is good at, it is out working and playing hard, so I predict we’ll come out on top of many of those close games.”
Thank You: “First I have to thank my parents for being so amazing to me throughout this whole process and never pressuring me one way or another. They have been nothing but supportive and helpful. I’d also like to thank my high school coach, Coach Rounds. Coach Rounds has been an enormous help in this process and always made himself not only available but gave great thought out advice for any questions I had.
“Lastly, I’d like to thank Coach Vorgang and the Albany Power staff. Albany Power has helped me develop to the player I am today and is a terrific program.”
Other schools considered: StonyBrook, Siena
