Chose the University of South Carolina because: “[South Carolina] has great academic and athletic programs. The family environment was important to me. I like that everyone is so close and supportive of one another on and off the field. I’m most excited about playing with the rest of the team and have experience playing in a college cup and on national teams, too. It’s going to be a challenge, but I’m ready for it. I can’t wait to get there in a few months and start working and training.”
