Josiah Cleveland '20 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and inspirations are to study Physical Education or a sports related field while pursing my life-long dream of playing basketball at the next level. I would one day like to be a coach or train future athletes so attending a school that will help me reach that goal and one that will evolve me as a player is key. 

My style of play, the ability to play shooting guard as well as point, and my all-around basketball IQ makes me a good candidate for any team. I strive to be a team player, one who loves getting his teammates involved and encourages them on and off the court. I believe my unselfish style and drive for personal improvement are important aspects of my game. I love competition and I'm a very competitive person, but I have the ability to keep a level-head in the game at all times and allow my ability as a player to speak for me. 

I have a strong desire to learn, and I feel that I'm a very coachable athlete. I study the game because it's my passion and my ability and desire to learn from others, as well as learn from my own mistakes, gives me an edge to continue to grow as a next level basketball player. Strong work ethic on and off the court; respect for coaches, teammates, and school;  ability and drive to evolve as a young man; and my faith are just some of the characteristics that will continue to make me the person I strive to be.
