Spent the day at Lehigh Univ and could not have been more impressed. From the rigorous academics, the passion and process around athletics and the great people. Thank you to @CoachWood48 the ultimate tour guide, and @Coach_MikeKash@CoachJurkovec@LU_CoachMac for the time spent with me. And thank you to @CoachRichNagy for your insights and vision for the program.

Thank you @CoachEMarcCuse for the invite to Syracuse Univ to tour the state of the art facilities along with attend a scrimmage. The passion and competiveness was off the charts. Also the opportunity to connect with a previous teammate, @TylikHill was great.

Grateful to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Pace University. I want to give a special thanks to my parents for there continuous support and sacrifices they make for me to be in this position. Secondly, I want to thank my Uncle Chris for being by my side through everything and acting as a second father in my life. I’d also like to thank Coach Dom, Coach Gibbs, Coach Vozza, Coach Cole, and the rest of coaching staff at Pope John these past 2 and a half years for helping me become the person and player I am today. Lastly, I want to give a special thanks to Coach Matt for guiding me in the right direction and being the best mentor in my life - “You the man bro.”
