“I’m very excited for the opportunity Legacy Academy has given me to help develop athletes in their program. Brandon Sparks, Michael Kuhl and Ben Mateialona have done a great job building the foundation and I’m excited to follow in their footsteps and help continue building a great rugby environment and experience for the Legacy Academy athletes.”
