Quotes from the Coach: “It's been a lot of fun to watch Aaron as he continues to mature as a player and young man. Unfortunately he missed most of the spring training due to injury and surgery. So he was unable to sharpen his technique and tactics heading into his Senior year. But his rehab has been going well, and I know he can be a special ingredient to our Fall success. When Aaron is healthy and confident, he is a legitimate attacking threat each time he is on the field.”
