I knew I wanted to be a Bluejay the moment I stepped on campus. I had always heard great things about Creighton, but listening to Coach Fayers and Coach Gannon talk about how much they care about the program, and their athletes truly reaffirmed that feeling. The team was amazing and welcomed me with open arms. I quickly realized this is a place where I would be pushed to become a better athlete, a better student, and a better person. Plus, I really love the color blue!
