"Brock has proven himself to be an offensive weapon both as a middle and an opposite and at 6'8" said Head Coach Michael Crane."He will be a force to be reckoned with as a blocker. While visiting Aquinas it became clear that his character and work ethic match his athletic abilities. He will make a valuable addition to our program as we build our next championship team, and he will contribute to the culture we have developed and continue to improve year in and year out."
