Bio
WHY LEHIGH? "As my brother was entering into the world of choosing colleges, he saw Lehigh as a top choice. When he heard I had an opportunity to attend the school on an athletic scholarship, he told me to jump at the opportunity because there won't be many like it. I also have a lifelong friend who is a sophomore (Scott Cole), and he is someone I'll always want to keep close. In a more logistic sense, it is a great size and has prestigious academics. The coaching staff is the best in the country and the program is rising to the top."
