J. Bryce Smith '21 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to reach my potential in whatever I do. I have played Football - Basketball - and Lacrosse growing up and have chosen to focus on Lacrosse and Basketball in HS. My Freshment year I focused on athletics and grades and made the honor roll. Going forward I am looking at joining additional non - sports activities to become more well rounded. The reason why a college coach would have an interest in me is because I am a team player and what my coaches call " a coaches kid". I am very coach able - listen and learn - and will always do what is aksed for the team even if not in my best interests. Although I truly enjoy playing great individually, I know it is as part of a bigger goal and bigger picture - my team and our goals. An example is when my 8th grade Coach asked if I could move from Attack - a position I played since I was 5 years old - to defense because our team was weak on defense in my last year before HS - I did so. Even though I really wanted to stay on Attack. Attack is by far my favorite position, but the experience of playing defense for a championship team as an 8th grader lead me to be a more well rounded player and so much so my premier team 3D for last Spring  asked if I would pay Middie. This year I reclassed at Taft and Coach Bell is having me go back to Long Pole based on the teams needs . My advantage to a college coach selecting me is if they aks me to play for them, they will get a versatile team player that will representative his program and the College in a way that will not only make them proud because we win games but also because how we show up on and off the field.
