After a lot of prayer, thought, and conversations with the people who mean the most to me, I am beyond excited and blessed to announce my commitment to continue my academic and baseball career at Penn State!

First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game I love and for guiding me every step of this journey. None of this would be possible without Him.

To my family—thank you for every sacrifice, every early morning, every late-night drive, and for believing in me even when things were difficult. Your love and support have meant everything, and no matter how hard I try, I just can’t quite seem to put it into words.

To every coach I’ve had from Little League through high school, thank you for investing your time in me, pushing me to become a better player and an even better person. I wouldn’t be where I am today without everything you’ve taught me.

Thank you to my teammates, friends, and everyone who has supported me along the way. I’m incredibly grateful for all of you, and making all the hard days feel so much easier and lighter for me. Pushing me when I didn’t want to be pushed, helped me see the positive through all the bad . You guys all made the game feel so effortless and easy even on my hardest days.

Finally, thank you to the coaching staff at Penn State for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be part of such a great program. They have been there since day one, seen all the good, bad, and everything that’s in between, and still made sure to show that they were there for me no matter what. I owe it to them to work as hard as I can and try my absolute hardest whether I feel like it or not because they were willing to take a chance on me like no other. can’t wait to get to work and represent Penn State both on and off the field.

The journey is just getting started.
