Why Yale? “I chose Yale because it offers to its student-athletes both a first-class education and the opportunity to play as a varsity athlete in one of the most competitive conferences in the country. Here I will be able to make tremendous strides as a student and an athlete and I couldn’t think of a better or more important way to spend the next four years.”
