Why DU:
"I fell in love with the campus and its surrounding geography. The coaches and players I met while visiting were people I know I can get along with, all while being out of my comfort zone. I am really excited to get out of the Florida heat and into the cold. The campus is smaller than other colleges I have visited and felt like a place I can call home."
