Additionally, I want to acknowledge my incredible coaches, teammates, family, and friends who have helped me along the way and allowed me to be in this position. With that being said, I am ecstatic to share that I am committing to play basketball at the University of Dayton. I’d like to thank Coach Meek and rest of the coaching staff for making this possible. Cannot wait to get to work! Go Flyers!”
