NAIA Player Spotlight: Dakota Quinn – MidAmerica Nazarene (KS)
These Player Spotlight pieces are some of my favorite to write about. I have had a chance to watch many of these guys play live, so it is cool to get a small “behind the scenes” look of the type of young men they are. I also like the fact that every student-athletes path is…
