Jahlani Rogers
"I was at Florida Gulf Coast this past year and I was unhappy with the situation I had there so I came up here somewhat in a limbo situation, not knowing where I was going to go next and Kevin Hinchey and PAC-Hub helped me out a lot in my process, making calls and what not. It just eased the process for me and it was a big help."
Tyler Kennedy
"This last year I was at Pitt, now I'm at Florida Southwestern with the help of Kevin Hinchey and PAC-Hub. They really made this process super easy and allowed me to land on my feet coming out of the portal."

I started talking with PAC-Hub and they helped me talk to some schools and it was a really easy, non-stressful environment.
