Personal: Native of Salem, Ore. ... Favorite team is the Lakers ... Hopes to visit Japan ... Chose Oregon State because: "This is a great opportunity for me to and a great fit. I feel like I will fit right in because of the way the Beavers play, and because of the coaching staff and the belief they have in me. It's a place where I will be pushed daily, and I can foresee great growth in myself and the team."
