Scouting Report: “I think the number one thing that I appreciate the most is that he holds himself to an elite standard and he brings his teammates with him. It’s so hard to be a junior captain in our program and he was that. He’s one of just 3 guys that’s been able to do that in the last 15 years and there’s a reason for that. He lives it every day and it’s beyond important to him. He has the right value structure, the right mindset and he’s an elite competitor. His physicality is so off-the-charts, and his work ethic is so off-the-charts that people almost think he’s too physical. To me, I think he’s almost a unicorn. His length and his strength are so impressive. He’s a different guy.  And he just has such a way about him. He has a great leadership style. He’s vocal. He’ll hold guys to a standard. Your locker room immediately gets better from having that kid.” – Bergen Catholic head coach Vito Campanile.
