WHY OU: "I chose to commit to the University of Oklahoma for soccer because it felt like the perfect fit for me. From the moment I connected with the coaches, I could tell they genuinely cared about my development as both a player and a person, and their vision for the program really inspired me. On top of that, OU offers amazing academic opportunities that will help me succeed beyond soccer. The facilities are incredible, and I know they’ll give me everything I need to grow and compete at the highest level. But what really sealed the deal for me was the pride and energy surrounding Sooner athletics—I can’t wait to be a part of something so special."
