About

I am currently a junior journalism student at Samford University. My passion is sports and I played them all throughout my childhood and in high school. But since obviously my future wasn't in being a pro athlete, I turned to the best second option out there. Sports writing! It allows me to always stay relevant with what is going on in the sports world and I absolutely love it!

    I am pumped about the FC position. So far so good. I am definitely glad we got to do the internship together. Been a good experience. Glad to have been able to talk sports with you and Jared.

    You made a comment about there being a lot of buzz in Florida about Richards returning.. I'm working on an article right now about why he will be heading back there.

    Got any newspaper links or quotes or anything that stick out in your mind that I may be able to use?

    Thanks either way Drew,
