Nicholaus Asiyanbi '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal aspiration is to get a degree preferably either a business degree or a medical degree in neuroscience. I also hope to come out of college with an All-American award or an All-team award. I also hope to be the best student athlete I can be and achieve the highest award in whatever conference I play in and that would be to be the MVP.  My ultimate goal if everything came true would be to have all these awards, but also the most prestigious award in college baseball which would be the Dick Howser award and to be the best player I can be on and off the field. What make me a good candidate for any collegiate team is that I am driven and work hard to reach my goals and will put in the extra work and even overtime work to stay ahead in my classes and to produce on the field to help my team no matter what. What makes me different from other recruits is that my character is pure and I am a loyal and uplifting teammate that no matter if I am 0-2 one day or 3-3 I will have the same attitude because that can be one of the make or breaks of a game, so you cannot be focused on what just happened you have to be in the moment and still rooting on and helping your team in any way. What makes me different in athletics is how versatile I am , though I may be a little small I have been working on my body so that I can make the same plays as a 6 footer or be as agile and as acrobatic as some of these other players, I have also been improving my hand eye coordination and my mechanics in throwing pitching and catching so that I can be ready and be used as a utility player or wherever coach needs me to be. Why I outshine other recruits in academics is that I am focused and will work to not just have the good grades , but to go above and beyond of those not just having the C in a class so I ca play, but having that A so I am accomplished and actually being the best student-athlete I can be and that means putting work in the classroom too.
