Sam Knox Commits to Emerson College

Sam Knox of Tantasqua Regional High School made it official on Friday afternoon when he announced his official commitment to play baseball at Emerson College. Knox was recently accepted to Emerson on December 15th, but wanted to weigh his financial options before announcing his decision.

"It is the perfect fit. It's in the city, I can play baseball there, its the perfect size for me, and it is the number one journalism school in the country. It was meant to be. There was not one other school that measured up to Emerson for me. They had everything I wanted in a college." said Knox who has known Emerson was the school for him since he did a campus tour in May of 2015, and an October official overnight visit sealed the deal for Knox and his family. "Not only is the school a perfect fit, but I have already built so many great relationships with people at Emerson. Coach (Nick) Vennochi and I have had a great relationship from the day I first spoke to him in late August and told him I wanted to play for him. He seemed to want me there, and when a college wants you and you want them, it can't get any better than that." said Knox.

Sam is going to major in Journalism at Emerson and will graduate in 2020.

    2. No, I did not have trouble writing this at all because I am the main and only source for all of this information.
    3. The purpose of this post is to highlight a great day for me, and to capture it on this blog. I want people to know where I am going to college and the story behind why I am going to Emerson.
