Quotables:

"I'm excited. I love corner. I play that now. I'm very athletic and I have smooth hips and quick feet so I think it will be a good fit."

"I took a lot away from Coach London's talk with us as a class. He expects us to each finish our senior year strong in the classroom. I also realized how much UVa is like a family and how much people are willing to help."
