WHY AUTREY CHOSE SANTA CLARA
"First of all, the academic side of Santa Clara was a major plus. Highlights for me were definitely basketball, the schedule Santa Clara plays and the chance to play in the WCC, the people on the campus and the certainly the coaches and players. I really liked the team. It's also a beautiful campus. I felt like I knew everyone since my first step on campus, they were so welcoming and had so much energy. I really can't believe it. With me being from Texas, I am used to just seeing California on TV and now I will play there. I am really looking forward to it. My parents are with me 100 percent and are happy for me. They are excited to come and have a nice place to visit."
