3 Questions for Fosu
Biggest Soccer Influence? "My biggest soccer influence is Bukayo Saka because he provides the best example of overcoming adversity that I've ever seen from an athlete. Being so young and a black athlete, I relate to him and really admire the way he's been able to recover from such a shattering moment and period of time. Now, he's easily one of the best wingers in the world and that all came from his resilience. I also respect that he still remains humble even after climbing to the top."
Do you have a hero or idol? "My idols are my parents. They have shown how far discipline really goes. They are easily the most hardworking people that I've ever met and I appreciate all of their sacrifices."
Why Yale? "I selected Yale because I was drawn to the idea of diverse people with a wide range of talents learning from and challenging one another. With the reputation Yale has upheld, I know it is full of ambitious and curious people, and the thought of that excites me."

Stannard on Fosu: "Dijon is one of the top players in the country in his position and was recruited by several top programs. He reminds me a lot of one of the best players in our program over the past 10 years, Enzo Okpoye.  Dijon is primarily a center midfielder right now but has also played as a central defender. He is an excellent ball-winner, quality passer, and has a commanding physical and competitive presence on the pitch. His club, Baltimore Armour, always does a great job of preparing players for the transition to college soccer."
