What made you choose Mercer University?

Well it was closer to where I was at, plus I couldn’t pass up being a Bear even though I was holding 8 more offers, and being a Bear meant everything out of high school.

Because I’m coachable, a communicator who solves solutions a wonderful teammate, a noble young man in any community, and willing to prove to teams, just give me a chance. That’s all coach! Big shout out to Coach Rudy Taylor, down there in Miami.
