Why OU: “Growing up in Norman for me has meant that OU has always been like a second home, and after communicating with the staff at OU l could confirm that feeling. I felt immediately welcomed and was not only interested in the athletic aspects, but academic as well. With OU being so close to home I was already acquainted with the atmosphere, which was comforting. To say I'm excited to have the opportunity to play here is an understatement.”
