Why did you choose Duke? “All the schools I visited were amazing, but I just felt most comfortable at Duke. Not only does it have strong academics, it has incredible lacrosse, excellent coaches, a beautiful campus, and great school spirit. Also, the possibility of competing for a national title is exciting.”
Team’s outlook for 2016 HS season: “Even though we are losing a strong senior class, I believe that we will have an excellent season nonetheless. Our team consists of a great group of guys on and off the field, who will do whatever it takes to achieve the team goals. We have strong players at every position, and a roster with a lot of depth. In addition, the dedicated coaching staff is superb and will prepare us to perform competitively this season.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my parents as well as my sister, Bailey, for always being there for me, and for their love and support.
“A special thanks goes to Nick Daniello of Prime Time for his encouragement over the years and his guidance throughout the recruiting process. Also, I owe a big thank you to my coaching staff at John Jay (Coaches Schurr, Guski and Bocklet), and Prime Time (Coaches Chris Daniello, Guadagnolo and Lambert). Without them I would never have gotten to this point.”
Other schools considered: Princeton, Yale and Georgetown
