Aaron Graves '23 Recruiting Profile

After graduating high school, my goal is to attend a college that can not only help me succeed in my athletic career and get to that next level, but also ascend me into my alternative goal, helping me graduate with my college degree and hopefully thrive in the culinary industry. Outside of baseball and football, I love taking pictures, I like to travel, and love hanging out with friends. I love sneakers. My one goal in the future is to own every pair of shoes I couldn't own as a kid. Music is the biggest part of me outside of sports. Music is my own personal outlet to express myself. I listen to hip-hop rap, R&B, instrumental, and sometimes even jazz.  Also learning from the generation before me gives me an idea of what I want to do after my playing career is over. Maybe start my own business, become an investor or give back to my community. Given the short amount of time that I have been involved with this game, I feel God has blessed me with my athleticism and my unique mentality and determination to get to where I am today. I've come along way from where I started but my journey throughout this entire recruiting process has only just begun. The current pandemic we are facing right now has given me time to reflect on myself not only as a baseball player, but also as a human being. It has given me time to polish my game and work on my flaws. Having a 3.8 GPA and being that I'm a two-sport athlete, I feel as if my abilities on the football field can transfer to the baseball field and vice versa.
