What are your goals for the upcoming season? To get into my role as a player into the SWU system, help accomplish historic goals for school and play to the best of my ability.

Why did you choose SWU? The Christian beliefs, the coaching staff and how they made me a priority

What is your favorite thing about SWU? The campus.  It is so beautiful.  The coaches and the dorms.

Why is your sport important to you? It is what has taken me so far, allowed me to meet people, been in spaces I wouldn't have anticipated to be in and taken me to different countries.

Who is your greatest influence in life? Why? My father.  The sacrifices, sleepless nights, struggles he has been through are pushing me to be a better person and better man.

Where do you want to be in five years? Hopefully signed to a professional contract, graduated with my bachelor's and on the way to getting my Master's degree.

Do you have a nickname? How did you get it? Not really.  RJ I guess.  My name is long, it simplifies my first name.  It is a mixture of my parents name.

Favorite athlete? LeBron James

Favorite food? Mother's spaghetti
