Next Level U Statement
I am looking to compete in golf at the NCAA Division 1 or Division 2 level while obtaining a bachelor’s degree in either sport management or business. My goals for golf are to develop my game to be the best player I can be, as well as helping my team to be as successful as possible.

My biggest strength is my ball striking, especially with my irons. I tend to hit lots of fairways and greens, and I have been working very hard on developing my short game over the off season. I would also consider myself a grinder, as I am constantly working as hard as possible to become a better player.
