About me

What position(s) do you play? What do you view as your strengths?
• 6’6 / 195lbs / Guard/Forward
- Primarily known as a shooter and for my range; also am a strong leader, rebounding guard who is versatile, pushes transition, moves well off the ball, with a high basketball IQ. (primary position is a 2 or 3 but play and guard all positions)
- School Record with 9 3PM game (9-10 3PT, 14-16 FG, 40 pts)
What type of school are you looking for?
- Looking for a program that values culture, character, and relationships. Preferably a program that plays at a high tempo, pushes transition, with a strong motion offense with lots of movement. Currently talking with coaches at the DII and lower DI level but open to any program (bigger or smaller) that would be a good fit with high character people.
What are your interests outside of Basketball?
• Dedicated, determined, self-driven student athlete who takes pride in my work ethic and ability to help the team and make my teammates better.
• Strong, dedicated, goal-oriented, service leader who puts the team and others first.
• Grew up as a coach’s kid in the gym; father was a HS Varsity Basketball Coach.
• Well rounded, focused, hard-working student. National Honor Society (NHS) (4.05 GPA)
Closing Statement
- Positive leader on the court, in the classroom, and building for my peers.
- I do not take short cuts. I pride myself in my work ethic and am always striving to make myself and those around me better.
- Service leader who puts others first. In the classroom when working with my peers. On the basketball court when helping my teammates. Socially when making plans and hanging out with my friends.
