Bio
Why Lehigh? “The outstanding academic opportunities set Lehigh apart from every other school that I was considering. I loved meeting the coaching staff and players during my official visit weekend where the entire experience made me feel at home. I have always wanted to play Division I football and Lehigh is going to help me reach all of my academic and athletic goals.”
