WHY LINFIELD? I became attached to the campus atmosphere, and all of the people that I met on my visits were super friendly and made me feel right at home.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete is a great privilege. Athletics has been something I’ve been involved in my entire life and something that is a part of my lifestyle. Being able to have the opportunity to continue playing the game I love means the world to me.
