Why Loras: “Loras offered the perfect environment to be a successful athlete and student. It was also the perfect distance from home to get a fresh start.”

What it means to be a Duhawk: “Being a Duhawk means you wear your purple and gold with pride. You work hard every day to make yourself and your teammates better. And most importantly, you take pride and ownership, especially when it comes to the Rock Bowl.”

Favorite memory at Loras: “My favorite memory was when we beat Trinity Texas my sophomore year. We were the major underdog and beating them in overtime gave us energy to push deep into the post-season.”
