Shane Skelly '19 Recruiting Profile

I left my home in California to attend IMG Academy in Florida. My family and I made a late summer decision, so I arrived only a few days before my senior year of high school would start. I knew nobody when I arrived and live on campus.  But I settled in and went to work because I knew I was at IMG for a reason and that would be to make a lot of progress as a student/athlete.  IMG Academy has amazing facilities and staff that will help you become better if you want it.  I'm confident that I have the tools, both physically and mentally, to contribute at a high level and I feel this past year's experience has prepared me to handle the transition to a top college program. Additionally, my head coach, Joseph Jordano (412.965.1292) was head coach of University of Pittsburgh for 22 years...he's coached and developed many D1 players that have succeeded and move up to the next level of pro ball. I don't hype my talents and have stayed under the radar when it comes to accolades and publicity - but I've played against the best high school players in the nation and compete with them day in and day out.  Please ask Dan Simonds, Director of Baseball at IMG Academy (941.739.7459) for any pertinent information or materials you may need.
