Kristen Young '20 Recruiting Profile

I have always had a love for basketball, I remember learning how to play with my older brothers. I’ve always had a drive to excel, especially at sports. After my first year of playing school ball I realized I needed to step my game up for my team. So I began training and playing AAU for Tray huntsman in Eighth grade, which took my game to the next level.

This past year I tore my ankle up and I’ve been out for almost 8 months, this has taught me more about the game than anything else in my career. I’ve learned how to study the game and improve even when I could not physically do it. I believe that I will be a great asset to any team, I dive for loose balls, take charges, block shots, handout assists, rebound, and drive to the hole and score. But most importantly, I am a leader, and that is what I bring as an athlete.
