I’m incredibly blessed to announce my commitment to the United States Naval Academy. Thank you to my family for the sacrifices and constant support, and to my coaches for pushing me and believing in me every step of the way. I wouldn’t be here without you all. Grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey. Ready for the challenge ahead and grateful for the opportunity to grow as a leader, athlete, and person at the Naval Academy. #Committed #GoNavy
