- Why Kentucky: “I chose Kentucky because I felt it was the best place for me to grow as both a player and a person. The coaching staff made me feel welcome from the beginning, the energy around the program, the people, and the ambition of the team really stood out to me. I wanted to be part of a group that pushes each other every day, and I think this is the perfect environment for me to keep improving.
