“The sky is the limit for Eagan,” (Middleton High School Coach Ben) White said. “If he puts in the work in the offseason both on and off the court, he could go as far as some of the greats in the program. To start the year, things were coming very easy to Eagan, but as the season went on and teams realized how good this sophomore was, they made him earn everything. And he did outstanding.
“For a sophomore to have 12 kills at state against the team that went on to win the state title is pretty spectacular. I don’t think many in state realized how young he is. Eagan will make it hard for me to take him out of the back row next year, because he plays with no fear. I know he'll develop a jump serve. I know he'll be a force in the offense out of the back row. The future is bright for him.” - Middleton Times Tribune, November 22, 2016.
