Larenz Walters '25 Recruiting Profile

I started playing sports two months after my father passed unexpectedly when I was five years old.  Sports became a way to cope with his passing.  Football was the first sport I played that summer.   That year I played basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring.  The opportunity to play sports took my mind off of everything.   Any problem I had as I grew older, I could use sports as an outlet.  I began to love sports.  The coaches and players became part of my family.

I hope to make sports a career by attending college and becoming an athletic trainer or going into sports medicine.   I definitely want to continue playing basketball through college.  Through my years of playing on multiple teams, I have learned to cope with challenges and obstacles in a way that I know will last a lifetime.
