Personal Statement

My name is Waylon Castle Jackson. I've had a passion for baseball since I've been 4 years old. I want to let this passion carry me as far as it can. My goals are to compete at the highest level my talent will take me, get a degree from a top college, and represent that college to the best of my ability. I am homeschooled, so my daily routines revolve around baseball and academics year round. I am constantly around the best coaches, players, and competition with my high school and travel teams. I look forward to the journey ahead.
