After a lot of thought, I am so excited to announce my commitment to Bucknell University! First, I would like to thank my family for always supporting me and helping me throughout this process. I also want to thank all of my coaches and teammates who have guided me along the way, as well as the entire Slammers family for everything they have done for me. I am beyond grateful for everyone who has been a part of this journey. Go Bison! @Bucknell_BB @cam_mcdonald4 @BASNICAR21 @SlammersNorth @PrepBaseball_CO @WagsPBR @PG_Scouting @ByronEmbry @RichardUAustin @dawson_mustangs
