I decided to attend the University of Notre Dame because ...
I was born in Indiana and grew up as a Notre Dame fan. My grandpa is a graduate of the university. When I was looking at colleges, Coach Kelly really drew me here to Notre Dame.
The thing I have enjoyed most about Notre Dame ...

Something interesting about me that people might not know about ...
I was born with a clubfoot and had to have surgery when I was born. I've had eight surgeries on my kicking foot. The most recent one was in sixth grade.
The thing I miss most about home is ...
My high school coach (Mike Sawchuk) and my team (Plymouth Wildcats). Coach Sawchuk has been a father figure to me.
Over my next four years at Notre Dame, I am most looking forward to ...
Winning a national championship. I am very confident we can win one with this coaching staff and group of players.
