Jackson Milius '21 Recruiting Profile

To start, I am a hard-working, self-starter and a strategic player -  I am a strong and loyal teammate, as well.  My primary goal in my collegiate future is to get my bachelor’s degree in the sciences BUT I am a water polo fanatic and there’s no place I’d rather be than in the water!

I love playing the game and would like to continue playing throughout my college career at the most competitive level.  Not only do I love the game, I love to win.  I am a positive individual and believe nothing is impossible; the game isn’t over until the buzzer sounds.  I believe I have a strategic awareness of weak spots on defense and a way to open-up opportunities for myself and teammates for offensive opportunities.  

I quickly adapt to new coaching styles and forming strong bonds with teammates. I am solid academically; being in the top 10% of my class.  I was also recently awarded the Academic All-American Award through USA Water Polo.  I am a strong leader; having been team captain for the last two years of high school and was last year's MVP.  I hope to be a role model for others and someday would love to coach young players and help them fall in love with the game as I did.
