Before Princeton: 10-time Maryland State Champion; three-time All American.
Why Princeton: “For me, choosing Princeton is quite simple. It’s close to home, has great weather, and most importantly, it offers top-tier academics and a tight-knit community environment. On both my visits, I felt genuinely welcomed, which is something I can’t say about the other schools I visited. Coach Vigilante, Coach Abdullah, and the guys on the team made it feel like a place I could really see myself for the next four years. Outside of sports, I’m excited for the challenge in the classroom and the chance to learn from people with totally different backgrounds and experiences. I want to soak it all up, forge life long friendships and grow as much as I can.”
