Signing Day 2016-17

"Coaches treated me like family. They have a family atmosphere and great facilities. Both my brothers went there and they kind of paved the way for me. I am excited to play college football because it is like living out a dream."

"They were my first offer so from the start they got my attention. Just the relationships with the coaches really played a big part and it really fit academically. I have already gotten to meet the team and all the coaches, so I'm excited to strengthen those relationships. I'll be a red shirt so I'll just be getting bigger and stronger and getting ready to step on the field."

"I picked Indiana because of the historic background of the school, and I like the style of play there because it's similar to the play my club team uses. I also love the coaching staff that they have at Indiana. I'm really looking forward to just playing with the best teams in the country."

"The environment right when I walked on campus was great. I am excited to get the experience of playing at the highest level I can get to and meet new friends."

"I really liked some of the guys I met on the team and the coach and the entire atmosphere of the campus. It just felt like the right fit for me."

"I had other options further away in California, but I just didn't feel at home. My family was just a little too far away for my liking. I'm excited for a little bit more competition in college. I think it's going to be fun and a challenge to be a student athlete."

"For me it was a really good fit academically and athletically for all the schools I looked at. It kind of had the best of both worlds and I really liked the coaches and the campus. It is something I have been working for a really long time and to compete at the next level in St. Louis where I grew up."

"To be on a winning team and they make it to the world series almost every year I just want to help them get that final push."

"The school kind of felt like home, and they offered me the best experience. I'm most excited for the experiences from the new team and new college that I'll get."

"For a long time I have had a dream to play Division I lacrosse but it was not just the fact that it was Division I. When I went up there I met some of the guys and saw the campus. The coach was someone I trusted to put me in the best position to be successful."

"One thing that my parents taught me was academics first and I liked the academic situation there. For a basketball standpoint I liked their facilities and the location fit me. It was not too close but not too far away as well. I am just excited to get down there."

"The academics and sports are what I am looking forward too. I just felt like both the team and the academics were the right fit for me individually."

"I really liked the family atmosphere. I just felt really at home, and I really just liked what they had to offer. I'm just really excited to get my college career started off on the right step and I look forward to furthering my football and academic career."

"Southeast Missouri State were the most invested in me throughout the whole process. I am extremely excited to play there next year and I am leaving early in June to go down there."
