Kickin' it with the Blue Raiders

Each Wednesday through the regular season, GoBlueRaiders.com will feature a series of Q&As with members of the Middle Tennessee soccer program. Each of the 25 players will be included with most weeks profiling two student-athletes and three weeks highlighting three players. Student-athletes were selected by random draw for their respective week.

All players were asked the same questions; however, the choice of which questions and answers appear here were also chosen at random.
