Why Lehigh? “For me, Lehigh was the best all-around fit. It offered top-notch academic and athletic opportunities. Very few places allow you to be competitive in the classroom and on the playing field.”
On Coach Coen: “Coach Coen is a competitor. He expects everyone, including himself, to perform to their full potential. He is always looking for ways to improve his players; he will help you become a better player and person.”
On being a part of the Lehigh football experience: “Being a Lehigh student-athlete is an incredible time commitment. You are expected to excel in both aspects. It takes a desire to succeed and excellent time management skills.”
