Why he chose Santa Clara?: “I chose Santa Clara because of a few reasons. The coaching staff is awesome and I think they’re really going to be able to get the best I can be out of me. We’re part of a unique recruiting class, with it having six freshmen. That’s basically unheard of and I think we’re going to be able to really bring the program to where it should be. Throughout my recruiting/college search I knew I wanted to be in California. I have a lot of family there and it’s perfect tennis weather. Also, the business school is one of the best in the country and the school itself is in a great location for post-college careers.”
