Ben Koenig signs his letter of intent with his mother Julie and brother Tommy at the Little Theatre at TCHS last Wednesday.
“I looked at three smaller schools and one Division I school,” said Koenig. “They have a good academic reputation and their athletic program is on the rise. They plan to start building an $83 million stadium complex and just signed a five-year sponsorship contract with Under Armor.”
Koenig’s high school coach Shannon Burcham praised his protégé’s development. “For three of his four years here, I’ve worked with Ben. First he is a good person and a good student that did what it took academically to play. He did what it took on the field to get to the next level. I congratulate him.”
Burcham said that Koenig possesses an uncommon work ethic as a player. “At our first summer camp, he was competing rather than standing back and watching. I think he will be successful.”
