"The acknowledgement is a reward for the hard work that he has put in both on the field and in the classroom since arriving on campus in 2017. He is an outstanding representative of our program, the athletic department and our university. I am very proud of him and look forward to working with him in the coming weeks as the most exciting part of the season is now upon us."
