Thank you to all of the schools that have recruited me during these past few days. I am very grateful for the opportunities I was given and the time each school spent on me. I have decided to commit to the University of Virginia and am excited for the next chapter of my life.

Christ appeared in ten games last season for Penn State and played mostly on special teams. He also earned Academic All-Big Ten Honors in 2022.
As a graduate transfer, Christ has three years of eligibility remaining.
