Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh because it gave me the best opportunity to play competitive Division I football, while at the same time offering an elite academic opportunity.”
On Coach Coen: “Coach Coen is definitely a ‘player’s coach’ because of the strong family-like bond he creates between his players and himself.”
On being part of the Lehigh football experience: “Being a Lehigh student-athlete involves a lot of work and time commitment, but in the end it is all worth it if you achieve success on the field and in the classroom.”
