GLADSTONE — For many high school athletes it’s a dream to play sports at the college level, for Holy Name student Mason Sierpien that dream is a reality as Sierpien committed to Lawrence Technological University and will study in Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry. Sierpien will also play football after playing high school football for the Gladstone Braves the 6’2 185 pound receiver moves up to the collegiate level.

After visiting the campus early this year, Head Coach Oscar Olejniczak offered Mason an athletic scholarship to join the Blue Devils football program who finished 2-8 last season and were 0-5 at home.

I really enjoyed visiting Lawrence Tech and meeting the football staff,” Sierpien said. “Everyone was so professional and courteous. Lawrence Tech has an exceptional engineering program and opportunities for internships and I am very excited for the next chapter in my life.”

With all the determination Mason had in his time at Holy Name in the classroom and on the field at Gladstone on Friday nights the future is promising for another U.P. athlete.
