#Top10Countdown Day 3️⃣

Cadet Raymond Kerrison is a senior studying mechanical engineering at Lafayette College, an extension of Lehigh University’s Steel Battalion. 

Kerrison joined #ArmyROTC because he was inspired by his older siblings who served before him. He felt compelled to uphold his family’s tradition of leadership, discipline, and purposeful service. He felt no hesitation, he knew serving in the U.S. Army was what he wanted to do. 

He is the captain of the #RangerChallenge team, and will be representing 2nd Brigade Army ROTC for his third consecutive year at #Sandhurst2026. Kerrison is a recent graduate of Sapper School, where he was a distinguished honor graduate. He completed #CST2025 with a RECONDO Badge for 10th Regiment, Advanced Camp. He is also a four-time Ranger Challenge winner and an expert in coaching and mentoring the Steel Battalion’s underclassmen. 

Kerrison’s cadre describe him as humble, grounded, and dedicated to bettering himself every day. 

In his free time, Kerrison enjoys competing in spike ball tournaments, reading up on Army doctrine, and weightlifting while listening to Treaty Oak and Ole 60. 

Fun fact: Kerrison recently discovered a passion for ultramarathon running, completing a 50-mile ultra on a one-mile loop in his neighborhood. He plans to run his first 100-mile ultra this winter 🏃‍♂️ 

Post graduation, Cadet Kerrison hopes to branch Aviation and use his skills and training to serve with purpose and take on the challenges and responsibilities of becoming an Army aviator.

Join us in congratulating Cadet Kerrison on being number 3 on the TopTenOML 🎉
