It's a good mix. There were some other schools interested in me, but I didn't want to go out of state. The main reason Geldermann chose to remain in California was his family. His mother was his main inspiration in deciding to play football as a youth and always encouraged him and his brothers to play competitively. But I was actually surprised when I came here and saw that people don't care as much about athletics.
Education is the priority here.
Biggs succeeded in convincing Geldermann that he could achieve his goals just as easily in Davis as he could at another school. We've seen him mature a lot this season. Maturity has helped Geldermann settle into his role and become a solid contributor to the team's defense, which is exactly what he said he had hoped for after limited duty last year. Geldermann noted that UCD's program has older players serve as an extension of the coaching staff in helping younger players establish themselves. Jeremy Wilgus and other seniors.
