On attending Rensselaer: "Amazing academics and great facilities." - September 2020 

"There weren't any other schools where I could get one of the best Materials Engineering educations in the world while still being able to play football. I was also aided by the support of coaches and players in balancing the stressful workload of both." - July 2021
