Why did you choose High Point? “I chose High Point because I feel like I have a good relationship with Coach (Jon) Torpey and the guys on the team are great. The guys on the team were fun, excited, and hyped up for practice and playing during my visit. They were a team I could see myself being a part of. Also the High Point University idea of “extraordinary” is what I want be and pursue to be as a person. The school atmosphere is great and I can’t wait to be down there in a couple of years.”
