In cooperation with the Folds of Honor Foundation, each participant in the Patriot All-America Invitational will represent a fallen service member. Each player in the field will receive a bag with the name of a fallen military member. At the conclusion of the event, the bags will be auctioned off with all of the proceeds going to the Folds of Honor Foundation which provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation.

Nihart had an All-American year as a junior, leading Greensboro to the NCAA Division III National Championship. The Pride entered his senior campaign this fall as the top ranked team in the nation. After a strong finish to the semester, Greensboro will kick up its title defense in the spring.
