FUN FACTS
Biggest lacrosse influences?
I don’t really have a lot. I always wanted to play ‘bump and run’ as a D-middie like Charles Woodson did in football and clear the ball like a punt-returner. I could booch Kyle Harrison (2 years above me) now if I wanted…guy has great calves.


Favorite lacrosse moment?
Winning the ACC tourney in M&T bank stadium when we were the 3 seed and beating #1 UVA and #2 Duke. Also, once when playing against Hopkins, not sure who it was, but I hit this guy so hard both of our helmets went flying off and I landed on top of him. I got up put my helmet on and went back and played D. My dad was sitting in the stands and said the other guy pretty much crawled off the field all hunched over.


Favorite game environment?
Night games with an excited packed crowd.


Why are you joining the LXM Tour?
I want to playing lacrosse at the highest level and I love the idea of making lacrosse more mainstream. The entertainment aspect of LXM is great as well. Combining lacrosse and music in one big event is great, and a great way to spread the game.
