IVERSON ON BGSU
“The perfect word to describe BGSU for me is home. The program that Coach Nichols has created here is nothing short of amazing and I can’t wait to be a part of it!”

COACH NICHOLS ON IVERSON
“When describing Colin, the word winner has to be included. From the National Championship in club soccer to back to back State Championships in high school, wherever Colin goes, his teams win. Colin’s leadership, size and tenacity in the box are going to make him an impact player early in his college career.”
