Travius: To be a student-athlete.


"What is one personal goal that you have set for yourself while experiencing college life?"

Travius: Just to come out here and do what I have to do to go to the next level.


"If you were NOT playing basketball, what other club or sport would you be involved in?"

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
