Salisbury on why he chose Ohio State
“I chose Ohio State because of the outstanding lacrosse program, academics and facilities. The school has a friendly environment and I could feel that the first time I visited the campus. Also, I can see that the coaches truly care about each and every player on the team. They have created a family type atmosphere and that is something I wanted to be a part of.”
