As a principled conservative, I understand the importance of character and integrity. I understand these traits are as important to success as ability and believe the Class of 2017 represents the values of the Kent State football program. I trust Coach Haynes and his staff in their ability to evaluate talent and character. The cumulative G.P.A., the number of all-state selections, multi-sport athletes, state championships, conference championships, team captains, and all-conference selections are a testimony to the athletes' skill and hard work. I'm looking forward to watching Coach Haynes build these young men to be good role models on the field as well as in the classroom.
