Why Lehigh?: “I chose to attend Lehigh because I wanted to challenge myself academically and at the same time play for one of the best football programs in the country. Not only were the coaches, but the players, also very convincing on my official visit, making my recruiting process much easier.”

He’ll be the first one to let you know what you need to be doing to be a better player, but he will also be the first to congratulate you. He has great relationships with his players, which makes players want to go above and beyond for him.”
