Blessed and Honored to Announce My Commitment to @DartmouthFTBL
First, I want to thank God for the opportunities and strength He’s given me throughout this journey. I’m incredibly grateful to my family for their constant love, support, and sacrifices – especially my parents, who have always believed in me.
To my high school coaches, thank you for shaping me into the player and person I am today. Your leadership and mentorship have meant the world to me.
A special thank you to my brother, who’s already at Dartmouth and has been a huge inspiration both on and off the field. Watching your journey helped shape my own and made this decision feel even more meaningful. Thank you to all the coaches at Dartmouth I appreciate all that they have helped me with and am excited to get to spend more time playing football with them.
With that said, I’m proud to announce my commitment to play football at Dartmouth College!
