“I chose Villanova because the university is a great fit for me academically and athletically. I knew the from moment I met Coach Simpson, Coach Wick, Coach Ed, and the rest of the team that Villanova was the right place for me. I am beyond excited to see what my future holds for me there. GO WILDCATS!!!”
