What will you major in/study? Plans to major in finance
Why did you choose the school? “I chose Dartmouth for its incredible education, beautiful campus and great town. I also chose Dartmouth because of the coaching staff. The Dartmouth coaches are new to Dartmouth lacrosse, full of knowledge, and eager to turn the program around, something I have been doing for my own high school lacrosse team. Having had great success at Lehigh, I believe Coach (Brendan) Callahan and the coaching staff can have the same success at Dartmouth. It is a place I can see myself having fun playing lacrosse as well as enjoying my college experience.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank Coach Schorn for everything he has done for me. Coach Schorn is truly a one of a kind person. Not only is he a great coach, but he is a great friend and mentor. He did not stop helping me with the recruiting process from the day I met him until the day I committed. I am blessed to have the opportunity to play for coach Schorn and any player should consider himself lucky to be able to have the same chance. I’d also like to thank my other Team Man Up coaches Carson Cocco, Greg Pelton, Greg Merrill, and Ryder Harkins for all their advice and knowledge. Lastly I would like to thank the greatest parents anyone could ever ask for and for all the sacrifices they’ve made for me.”
Other Schools Considered: Lehigh, Princeton, Quinnipiac, Harvard, St. Joe’s, Drexel
