Why Penn?: “I chose Penn because it has top tier athletics as well as the best academics you could ask for. This environment will allow me to grow both on and off the field. Another reason is I felt such a strong connection with the team culture and the whole staff. This is a place where I know I can develop into the best version of myself.”
