Bio
Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh because I felt that it gave me the best balance between getting a great education and playing great football. The caliber of football that Lehigh plays year in and year out is incomparable to many other schools. Academically, I feel Lehigh will afford me an excellent education that I will be able to put to use for many years in my professional career once I graduate.”
