WHY HE CHOSE TECH: “I felt that the coaches were the most genuine, and I felt this was the place for me. It’s not too far from home, and I thought for my academic career and my athletic career, this would be the best place to extend it. I also want to be a part of something special. This is a young team. I know they didn’t have the best year last year, but the future is bright, and I want to be a part of something special.”
