WHY LINFIELD? I chose to attend Linfield for a multitude of reasons, the day I walked on campus I immediately was greeted with cheers and excitement which attracted me to explore the culture of the school. I quickly realized that Linfield College had a different type of energy, more so an energy that motivates one to be the best under any circumstances which produces top notch individuals. Not to mention the amount of success the school has had not only with academics but with athletics as well. These are the reasons why I look forward to be a part of the CatDome.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? To me being a student-athlete at Linfield means the most, not only will I have to endure the challenge of academics, I will also have to forego with the challenges of a sport all at the same time. Being a student-athlete will help shape me into a stronger more independent individual that will get me ready for the real world and to conquer any challenges that come my way.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I would say that simply playing college football at a collegiate level sets me apart from others. I also work on a farm, manage sports, and go to school all at the same time.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I am looking to get in to a career in law enforcement, specifically a police officer. I feel that Linfield has the tools in order for to succeed in following my dream career.
