2022 Spotlight #4Personal Statement
My name is Elijah Samdahl, class of 2023 - 6'6" Point Forward / Shooting Guard. I have committed to TMG Prep Academy in Los Angeles, and now a 2024 prospect. I've averaged 18 PPG, and have played on the Varsity team since my Sophomore year. Varsity Team Captain - I'm a team player and I'm passionate about getting my team involved. Academically, I graduated from high school June, 2023 with a 4.0 GPA...and I've committed to TMG and now I'm a 2024 prospect.
I have been selected to play on the Adidas Gold Circuit tournaments, and my team advanced to the Adidas 3SSB West Region Finals in South Carolina in July.
Last summer was busy, playing in tournaments such as the Under Armour Elite Circuit tournament in Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Atlanta.
I’m interested in playing at the Collegiate level because I am a Scholar Athlete, I am very intrigued by pursuing a Criminal Justice Program, as my career goal is to become a Criminal Justice Lawyer. My ultimate goal is to pursue a Criminal Justice degree while playing the sport I love through college.
What my coaches say about me: Elijah is a versatile player - an elite shooter, getting to driving lanes, and breaking down his defender. A a play maker - a great facilitator, seeing the court well and getting his teammates involved to make the right play.
I love to play the game and I am having fun every time I step on the court!
Let's Go!
~ Elijah
