I'd like to thank the coaching staff, teammates and the Odde Family for putting me in a position to get noticed by a great place like Air Force. The decision to go was easy after seeing the campus and what they have to offer to all their students whether they are athletes or otherwise. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and understand that now more then ever I have to work hard and continue helping my team and developing to get to the college level." Pierson Brandon
