Did you have any other options for college? Why did you choose Yale?

The one school that I was probably considering going to just as much as I was Yale was the Naval Academy. Almost all of my family served in the military so having the opportunity to serve as well as play football was really intriguing. I ended up choosing Yale because of the family atmosphere I got from the team. I wanted to be a part of a team that valued relationships and had a strong brotherhood and I felt that at Yale from the very start.
