What other schools offered you and what was it about Navy that made you come here? Dartmouth, Colgate and Duquesne. A big part of coming here was where the school is located with the city of Annapolis being a major factor, as well as having a job right after graduating and getting a good degree.

What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football?
