What will you major in/study? Mathematics and Secondary Education
Why did you choose Lindenwood? “I chose Lindenwood because of the players, the coaches, and how beautiful the school is. The fact that they have both majors I want to study and a back up major in case of a change in interest, were also reasons.”
What is your HS team’s outlook for next season? “I see a State Championship with hard work and dedication. And also a bigger, broader lax family forming.”
Thank Yous: “I thank Chris Robinson, my summer club coach, he worked so hard this past summer calling college coaches. He offered us every opportunity he could without actually going on the tours for us.”
