"I chose UConn because their program is steady going uphill, obviously they made it to a BCS bowl. Going to a BCS bowl must mean your doing something right as well as winning the Big East. They have good quality coaches that not only coach you like a coach should but also treat you like family. The team had a unique close bond that made the team feel like brothers. The facilities and the academics of the school are also top notch. This oppurtunity was just impossible to pass up. I just tell everyone going through recruiting to stay humble and keep your head up."
