Why Brown: "I chose Brown University because of the great academic level the school has and the value that my family and I place on education. While talking to Coach Wileman he made me feel that the school and program was a place that I could improve both as a person and as a player. He showed me how they valued me and how much they wanted me at the program and this made Brown seem like the perfect decision."
