Eastern Washington University Athletics

Shantay Legans Comments: “`Sticks’ should bring a valuable skillset to our team that we have not seen since the likes of former Eagle Martin Seiferth. His shot blocking ability and his length should be a great anchor to our defense in years to come and a great complement to the rest of the roster. He has enormous potential."
