TRL: What is your best memory regarding this sport?

JL: My favorite memory is probably going to Kansas over the summer, and we had a team camp up in Kansas.

TRL: Why did you choose this school?

JL: I chose it because over the summer I had gone to a couple of camps, and they were one of the schools who had shown the most interest in me. And when I visited I liked the guys there, and I liked the coach, and it’s just a really high academic school.
