PBR: Why did you choose Lake Erie?

Lind: I really liked Coach McGee and what he has done to get Lake Erie to a rising program. I felt like LEC was where I could make the earliest impact. The college and campus was everything I was looking for with it being a smaller town but also having Cleveland close.

PBR: What other schools were you considering?

Lind: Heidelberg and I had small interest in Thomas More (football)

PBR: Where did Lake Erie first see you? How did your relationship develop with their coaching staff?

Lind: I think Lake Erie first saw my video on PBR. After my visit to Lake Erie, talking to Coach McGee on a weekly basis best developed my relationship.

PBR: Lake Erie seems to be a program on the rise, especially with this current recruiting class.  How did that impact your decision to go up north?
