What type of college are you looking for?

A university that has been consistent in recruiting me, winning, tradition rich and has a strong sense of family just like my youth team the Westside Cubs and Historic Cass Technical High School. Strong and “steady” (as much as it can be in the college ranks) leadership from a Head Coach, Coordinator, and Position coach. Men, who will help me to grow academically, athletically, and socially.
