Jalen Smith '19 Recruiting Profile

    My goal has always been to play basketball in college and even on a professional level. I've been a dedicated, determined and dependable player since I started playing basketball. I want to make it to the highest competitive level possible. Basketball and academics are my way of life and I refuse to let someone stop me from achieving my goal. I take competing in any way seriously. In my mind, losing is never an option. I believe in winning and being apart of the winners circle.

    I am an asset on any team I play on and I’m always open to benefit from my coaches and teammates. I was selected on the DeKalb County Junior All-Star team. I have a 7 foot wingspan and love to play defense and can score above the rim and from a distance. I can get my teammates involved in the game through passing or setting good screens. I’’m a team player with good sportsmanship. I will cheer my teammates on while they are on the court although I'd rather help through my talents on the court.

    I'm open to any situation whether it's coaching, distance, school size, anything. I can adapt to any environment and can prove to be an asset to the team's success. I love playing in giant crowds because it gives me a big rush of energy.  I’m asking for the opportunity to demonstrate how I can aid your roster and I won't let you down.
