Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The campus and team culture were what stood out to me at Liberty. When I came on my visit, Liberty really seemed like the best place for me to not only become better as a student-athlete, but also the best place for me to make spiritual gains and to grow in Christ.
