Jyrell Jones '20 Recruiting Profile

Basketball is my passion and something I've always been dedicated to. Every year I've improved on something new because I live in the gym. I love being around guys who take their craft serious and are gym rats like myself.  In high school I physically could dominate any player one on one and saw a lot of double teams. I not only focus on the physical aspect of the game but the mental aspect as well.I At 6'5'' I use it to my advantage defensively. I can guard any position on the floor and I am a physical player who welcomes contact. The best part of my game is my defensive and I like my defensive to get me going offensively. I can block shots off the glass vertically and lock up shift guards with my quick feet. I can shoot the ball as well at 55% from the field not just off finishes in the lane but on a three levels. I am someone who likes to learn my teammates strengths and weakness so I can not only make the game easier for myself but for them as well.  My long term goal is to play professional basketball. However, I don't just focus on basketball and I make sure the classroom comes first. Overall my character is someone who is passionate about everything that they do.Not only do I try to make myself better but others around me as well. While attending my high school I wasn't just a stand out basketball player but a young man of high character as well. Whenever I attend college, I want to leave the same legacy of myself as I did all four years of high school.
