Silas Madrigal '20 Recruiting Profile

To become a college student and major in Marine Biology is something I have always talked about ever since I was little now it is on the verge of becoming a reality, this excites me to know that I can finally prove all the doubters saying I wasn't smart enough to go to college or even graduate high school wrong and even get to study for marine life and learn more about the ocean and the environment down there. There are a lot of things we do not know about the animals in the ocean or the ocean itself it is like another whole world, and I would love to explore it after college. Not only to prove the doubters wrong in a educational form but even in a athletic form as well to continue my sports career. As a shooting guard  I was never the biggest on my team but with heart and dedication I competed at that level against anybody, sure there were a lot of talented kids I have faced or practiced with but there was one thing for sure they were never going to accomplish and that was out work or out hustle me. What I bring to the table is hard work and discipline and that is really what separates me from other recruits I show respect and I am able to listen and take constructive criticism along with a passion for competing!! Majority of the kids these days have all the talent and think there is no more to be put in or they are to lazy to put in extra work, that is not who I am being at only 5'10 only makes me want it more and i'm always hungry for more both athletically and educationally and you can't teach that.
