WS: Why did you choose Michigan?
BM: I chose Michigan for a number of reasons. 1 - Academically, I feel the school will challenge me and help me accomplish my goals. 2 - The partners - Ben Whitford, Josh Churella, Jimmy Kennedy, Kellen Russell plus a number of other current athletes. will help me grow as a wrestler. 3 - The facilities, both academic and wrestling are world class.
WS: What other schools were you considering?
BM: The other schools I was considering were Illinois and Virginia. I really enjoyed Coach Garland at Virginia - great guy. Illinois was right there with Michigan. Coach Heffernan is an awesome person and it was a tough decision as the Illini are going to be a tough team.
WS: What weight do you see yourself wrestling in college?
BM: I'm thinking I'll be a157lber.
WS: What might you major in?
BM: Major – Undecided
WS: What are your college goals?
BM: Win national championships! Both individually and as a team.
WS: Add anything else you'd like to say.
BM: I'm really excited about Michigan Wrestling. The class they brought in last year was really strong. I'm sure this year's class will be just as tough. Having all of the senior level wrestlers in the room will be awesome to learn from. Go Blue!
