Jayden Ivory '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jayden Ivory, and I am a Senior at Bennett High School in Bennett, Colorado.

Ever since I first stepped onto a basketball court, I have been immensely passionate about the sport. Over the years, I have dedicated countless hours to honing my skills and becoming the best player I can be. I am a firm believer that hard work, determination, and resilience are integral to achieving success both on and off the court.

Academically, I am motivated to excel just as much as I am in basketball. I have maintained a strong GPA throughout high school and understand the importance of balancing my athletic and academic commitments. I am confident that the rigorous academic programs offered at the college level will provide me with the opportunity to thrive and develop my abilities.

I understand that basketball is not solely about individual accomplishments but rather about contributing to the collective success of the team. I thrive in high-pressure situations, always remaining calm and composed, which allows me to make sound decisions both on and off the court.
