Why Marquette: “With my dad being an assistant coach for the Milwaukee Bucks, I've always heard about players that may have been alumni or even other coaches that attended the school who all said great things about the school but being from Connecticut running at Marquette did not always seem attainable to me but eventually I began looking into it myself. My interest continued growing from there. I researched and finally toured and met Coach Rogers and some of the team which made the school feel welcoming and like a great fit for me.”
