Why Brown? “When I first visited Brown after being recruited, I had other school visits planned for the following days. I ended up canceling them, because I committed to Brown during that first visit. The campus, the coaching staff, as well as the academics including the open curriculum all made me realize that I didn't have to look anywhere else.”
