Personal Statement

I am a 165 lbs., 6’2” point guard with a 4.6 GPA. It has always been a top priority of mine to balance my academic life and my basketball life. I believe academic success is extremely important.  

I take pride and do my best to do a little bit of everything on the basketball court and give 110% no matter what. I value always doing the very most I can to help my team win while being a team player. I have always tried my hardest to be the first one to get to the gym and the last one to leave. I would consider one of my biggest strengths to be defense and always providing extra hustle.
My coaches consider me to be an extra possession player with great court vision and basketball IQ. My goal going into college is to play for a team that I can be most beneficial to, and play for a program where I can contribute the most and grow to be the best player I can be.
