WHY OU: "I chose Oklahoma due to the championship culture of the school and high standards both athletically and academically. I want to compete for a championship and play at the highest level surrounded by people who push each other but have fun together at the same time, which is exactly what I felt at Oklahoma. From the minute I stepped on campus it felt like the place I wanted to be and I can’t wait for what’s ahead!"
