Xavier Nelson '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Xavier, and I am excited to share my passion for basketball and my dedication to both academics and community service. As a 6'3" wing player and a high school rising junior, I have had the privilege of starting on the varsity basketball team, which reached the conference finals and the state semi-finals. These experiences have taught me the importance of teamwork, perseverance, and discipline on and off the court.

Academically, I have maintained a 4.4 GPA while challenging myself with Honors and AP classes. I have a strong interest in engineering or architecture and plan to pursue these fields in college. Recognizing the value of education, I earned a Four Year Merit Scholarship to attend my high school, a testament to my commitment to academic excellence.

Beyond the classroom and the basketball court, I am an active member of my community. I volunteer both on campus and at the local food bank, striving to make a positive impact on those around me. Additionally, I am a member of the Leadership Club at school, which has allowed me to continue to develop valuable leadership skills.

During the off-season, I am dedicated to improving my basketball skills. I train multiple times a week, engage in strength training, and participate on a local AAU team. These activities have not only enhanced my basketball abilities but have also fostered a strong work ethic and a drive for continuous growth.

I believe that my well-rounded experiences, both athletically and academically, make me a valuable asset to any basketball program. I am eager to contribute to a team that values hard work, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the court.
