Head coach John Trask: "David is one of a number of players who I had the chance to work with while coaching youth camps at UIC. David has been a special player since I met him at the age of 5 and the opportunity to work with him in a college setting will be pretty special. David's soccer IQ and passing ability is unquestioned and I look forward to seeing his growth within the program."

Associate head coach Keith Tiemeyer: "David is another Chicago Fire Academy product joining the Badgers. He is a highly technical midfielder who provides his team with an outstanding passing range. David's passing allows him to be a high end connector in the midfield and he is also able to provide incisive passes to teammates that unlock the opposition."
