IN HIS OWN WORDS: "I love the history about the school and all the inspiring people who attended," said Augustine. "The education is by far the best in the country and I'm playing the highest level of football. A degree at West Point is going to set me up for the rest of my life.
"I went up there on July 22nd, I enjoyed the entire camp and I got to have a meeting with the head coach. I love how coach Monkin was a known leader, when he walks into any room everyone just feels his presence and respects him highly. He said I resemble a player that graduated last year named Andrew King, who's style of play is a downhill linebacker and shows tremendously leadership.
"I feel great with my decision, knowing I will be receiving an high quality education."
RIVALS REACTION: This is a good pick up for Army. Augustine is a true football player who leads and hits. He loves to play physical football and he will get north-south and meet the running backs head on. He is very strong, he is aggressive and he competes at a high level until the whistle blows.
