Jason Grace '22 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been playing basketball since I was 7 years old. Since I first stepped on the court I knew I wanted to play at the next level. I’m a consistent shooter with a good handle, explosiveness, and a good IQ.  I am very coachable and strive to be the hardest working player for any team I am a part of. 

Off the court I study and maintain a high GPA. I’m also part of several clubs which help me commit to being involved in my community. 

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the court. I’m open to all options and want to find the right fit at the highest level of competition possible.

I have learned that I crave competitive environments, even ones where I am not the best.  Competing at the local rec level I was awarded MVP for our entire program out of more than 100 kids.  At 15 I tried out and made a competitive team where at 6'0" I was the shortest on the team and I gained little personal recognition for myself.   I was very humbled as we competed at top level AAU tournaments.  This led me to push myself with intense preparation to play at this next level.   I joined a gym and got a personal basketball trainer, so that I could thrive at my position.   I am learning to push through disappointments and work with my team for a common goal.  My aspiration is to drive the team to a higher level with my persistence and dedication.  

I hope to apply the lessons I learn on the court to my life to become the best version of myself.
