On Coach Coen: “Coach Coen is a guy who wants to win plain and simple. So whatever it takes to get to the level he wants you to be at he will do. Don’t be intimated if he pushes you to go further because its for the better.”
On being a part of the Lehigh football experience: “Being a part of Lehigh football means that for four years, you get to participate in the most-played rivalry in college sports. It also means that you are balancing playing a collegiate sport with difficult academics. Finally, it means you will create bonds with players throughout the team. Something that will last for a long time.”
