Why Rutgers? "I have heard many great things about the Rutgers program. Growing up in New England, I was familiar with the coaching staff and their successes when they coached at Bryant. Also, I had heard from players on the team that they love what the team stands for and how they compete day in and day out. Aside from baseball, the academics will provide me with what I need to do well in the future."
