Fergie time forever

Aidan Ferguson and I first met in the back row of Paul Mihailidis’ Journalism 101 in the fall of 2019. I quickly became aware of two essential identifiers: he hosts a podcast, Fergie’s Football Focus, and is a member of the men’s soccer team. Something about Ferguson’s enthusiasm made me want to keep up with the team, and that decision hasn’t disappointed me.

Since that initial meeting, Ferguson has played three seasons, was named co-captain twice, and led the Lions to their first trip to the New England Men and Women’s Athletic Conference men's soccer championship in 2022.
