Why did you choose this college?
Strength of the lacrosse program, as well as the awesome athletic facilities and campus. The community is very impacted by lacrosse, and the players are very dedicated and nice. The coaching staff is clearly committed to the program and the players and very experienced.

What Advice Would You Give Those Starting the Recruiting Process?

What is Your Stick Brand? And Why?
DNA head- not much flex and does not break easily.

Hero 3.0 mesh- Soft mesh has always been my favorite, and these strings haven’t popped on me once.

Which Lacrosse Player Do You Most Want to Have a Meal With and Why?
Matt Rambo because I would want to hear what his youth and high school process was like with The Dukes Club and see how it is different today.

Do You Watch College & Pro Games and What Are You Watching for to Make You a Better Player?
One-on-one dodges and how they react to a slide and or a double team.
