Why Lehigh?: “I chose Lehigh because of the academic and athletic tradition and my hopes to contribute positively to it.”
On Coach Coen: “He’s a great guy to play for. He doesn’t take nonsense and is very good at motivating. He is really easy to play for.”
On being a part of the Lehigh football experience: “It means a lot because not everyone gets to play football in college and the ones who do rarely get the chance to play on a team with the winning tradition we have.
On being a Lehigh captain: “It’s an honor to have the team respect me enough to vote me as a captain especially when there are a lot of other leaders on our team who easily could have been in this position. It is also very humbling and I am really looking forward to this coming season which will be a great one."
