His uncle played soccer there and he told us how just how proud he would be of him today..

Ard has scored many goals throughout his high school career.

He’s striving to get the nighthawks back on the right track.

“I’m looking to just go into TU doing what I can do and help the team. TU is a good program and I think if I just come in here and have that mindset to control what I could control and play my best game and I feel like we could turn it around” said Ard.

Ard said as soon as he stepped foot on their campus, he felt welcomed and it was the right fit.
