Why did you choose UNI?
I chose UNI because of the winning tradition and the family atmosphere on the team. I also knew I would would receive a solid education to set me up for the future.Â
I really appreciate them helping me continue to play the sport I love at the collegiate level. I got a great education that will hopefully help me become a doctor. I got to make many new relationships that I will never forget. I have really enjoyed playing for UNI and supporting the community.Â

I have been involved in SAAC as president and a MVC representative. With this I have tried to close the gap between athletes and the rest of campus and community. I volunteered at local elementary schools and set up events to raise money for charities.Â
What would you like to do after college?
Go to medical school and become a doctor. If that doesn't work out, I will a pursue a PhD in biochemistry and microbiology.Â

I was excited to play football at the collegiate level and be part of a great tradition. I'm excited to use my past experiences as a student - athlete in the work force and future schooling.Â
