RBC Athlete of the Week: Richie Curran

Richie Curran of Red Bank Catholic was a standout football player for the Caseys and is headed to St. Anselm College in New Hampshire this fall to continue his academic and athletic career.

He played defensive end and guard during his time at RBC.

We ask our athlete of week the same three questions and print their answers verbatim:

Why did you choose the college you did?

I chose St. Anselm College. On my visit, I just meshed well with the guys up there, the coaches were great, I really liked my position coach. The academics up there are really outstanding and plus it’s a small college and it kind of reminded me of Red Bank Catholic and I really like that feel.

What has been your best sports experience at Red Bank Catholic so far?

I’d say my standout moment was my junior year, my first year on varsity. We played Neptune our second week and me and my teammate Ronnie Robinson, who is our other defensive end, just completely shut down them down with running outside. I’d say that really boosted my career for all of varsity.

What do you plan on studying in college?

Right now I plan on either studying biology or psychology.
