Why Brown? “The opportunities Brown University presents to their student-athletes is truly remarkable. Being able to play football at the Division I level as well as attend such a prestigious and highly regarded school is why I chose Brown. The whole coaching staff for me felt like family as soon as I stepped on campus.”
