They definitely recruited me harder than any other school and they also always had a plan for me and make me feel wanted. WMU is also close to home which is great for me and my family. I also feel that the coaches at WMU can help me get my game to a higher level. I'm always impressed with the support staff at WMU and they offer a ton of support both on the field as well as in the class room. They will help me come away with a great education and overall WMU is the best overall fit for me."
Who else did Kenzinger consider before committing to Western Michigan?
"I looked hard at schools like Eastern Michigan, Marshall, Old Dominion and also New Hampshire. I visited all of those schools except Marshall and Marshall came in a little too late for me. Those schools all had good things to offer nut overall Western Michigan is just the best overall fit."
