Why did you choose to attend Grinnell?
Grinnell gave me the opportunity to receive a top notch education and continue what I love doing which is playing football. Note to mention, the financial assistance they presented me was also lovely. When I came to visit on my recruiting visit, I was sold on the “Self-Gov” policy that people went by here which was definitely a culture shock and the great athletic facilities. Deciding between the corn fields and Cali weather was definitely a hard decision, but I think I made the right decision. Grinnell has allowed for me to get out of Cali, and do something that nobody back home is doing.
What is your favorite Pioneer football moment?
What is your favorite Pioneer football moment?
My favorite Pioneer football moment would definitely have to be the win over Monmouth last year. The upset was set up so well. It was their homecoming (or something like it), it would have been a milestone victory (100th career victory) for their head coach, we hadn’t scored on them in 3 years, their fans were talking a lot of trash, and the “icing on the cake” (like Creps would say) would be the fact that it was my birthday. Not only did we obviously score on them, but we came out there…on their home field, played hard and left with a big DUB. Everybody was so happy; the look on the Coach P’s face captivated everything. The bus ride home was probably the shortest ever because everybody was just having a good time. We pulled up at Grinnell to peers popping bottles and having a great time.
