- Committed in September 2022
- Picked Kansas over Iowa and Creighton
- Chose Kansas because, “The campus felt like home to me. I had an immediate connection with Coach Fitzgerald – I loved talking to him. He made me feel as if I could make an impact early on and really sold me that he is going to turn the program around. I really like the prospect of playing in the Big 12 which has very good competition top to bottom every year. The Big 12 also has a lot of warm weather schools and being from Iowa, this is huge. KU is also close to home for me, so my friends and family can come and watch our games.”
- Majoring in physical education
