After a long thought process and talks with my family and coaches. I’ve decided to commit to Valparaiso University and continue my dream to play D1 football thank you to all my family and friends that helped me along the way. Also a big thank you to Valpo for giving me a chance and Saint Rita for giving me an opportunity to be here. @CoachMHopkins @StRitaFootball @CoachWaddle @CoachNank @valpoufootball
