Greetings, Fresno State and our dear neighborhood.
My heart fills with appreciation and pride as I pause to think back on my experience as a wide receiver for the Fresno State Bulldogs. I am incredibly grateful for your constant love and support during my time here. It has been an incredible honor to represent this university and community on the football field.
You guys have become my second family, coaches and players, and the entire Fresno State football community. We have bonded via our common struggles, triumphs, and experiences, and I will always treasure those relationships. I appreciate your support both on and off the field, as well as your constant encouragement to be the greatest athlete and person I can be.
We are fueled by the cheers and encouragement of the fans, alumni, and supporters that consistently fill Bulldog Stadium. We will always be thankful to you for your everlasting commitment and support, come rain or shine, win or lose.
I express my gratitude to the Fresno State faculty, staff, and administration for their unwavering dedication to greatness on and off the field. We are able to thrive not only as athletes but also as scholars and community leaders because of your commitment to our academic and personal development.
I am reminded of the innumerable moments we have made together as I think back on my time at Fresno State. I have grown as a person and player as a result of every experience, from exhilarating wins to devastating losses.
I take the knowledge and experiences I gained from my time as a Bulldog with me as I get ready to start the next phase of my adventure. Even though I may not be able to wear the red and white much longer, I will always be in love with Fresno State and its surrounding community.
I am grateful to Fresno State for accepting me as one of your own and for allowing me to don the Bulldog jersey with pride. I shall always value the honor and privilege that it has been.
With sincere appreciation and thanks,
Mac Dalena
Fresno State Bulldogs Wide Receiver
