Dylan Karau '21 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was a little kid playing basketball in the driveway, doing little dribbler camps, or in the basement, I knew I wanted to play at the college level. That dream has stuck with me through the years and now I want to make it a reality. Besides just enjoying the game of basketball, I have gained life skills from the sport and learned many lessons. Basketball has taught me how to be a leader, how to manage my time, and how to get through hard losses and struggles. All of these lessons I have learned will help me down the road in life. When choosing where I am going to go to college, I want to find a school that is a great academic fit while being a great fit athletically, too. I feel that I can bring many great traits to a college academically and athletically. Academically, I am a hard-working student in the classroom and dedicated to getting my work done on time. Athletically, I feel I can bring a little bit of everything. Along with being a great lanky left-handed shooter, I can handle the ball like a guard, I can pass and rebound, and my team defense mindset along with my ability to block shots makes me a disrupter near the rim with my 106.5-inch reach and a 6'9'' wingspan! I know that I am only one of five on the court and for us to succeed I need to sacrifice and be willing to do what it takes for the team. In the end, I want to end up at a school where I can pursue a high-quality education and be able to play competitive basketball building lifelong memories.
