Why did you choose to attend Macalester?
I choose to come to MAC after being recruited by several other programs spanning from my home state of Wisconsin to Tennessee, and even the east coast. I had narrowed my choices to Colorado University at Boulder and MAC. I chose Macalester to be part of a team and come into college surrounded by 80 brothers rather than 30,000 strangers. The school's caliber as an academic institute was number one on my priorities and the likelihood to be accepted to a top rate law school program only drew me closer. Coach Jennison is a man I truly respected and knew I wanted to be coached by in football and in life. I can already tell that Macalester is the greatest decision I have ever made. People look down on smaller schools or DIII football, the truth is that the best option for you might not be the largest class size or popularity, it could be the exact opposite. I chose Macalester because they showed that they wanted me to be there, they cared about getting me through the doors and into their classrooms and locker rooms, and that is something that should never be taken for granted.
