About Trae

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I can play both ways. I'm committed to playing defense and can push the ball in transition. I'm a willing passer and a strong rebounder. I move well without the ball and can shoot as well.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My mentality is to work hard in everything that I do.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I am involved in my local church youth group.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I participate in a bible study once a week at lunch, and I also attend a discipleship group that meets twice a month. Attending these have helped me improve my communication skills as well as understanding that I am a leader.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that can help me grow both on and off the court.

Trae has been setting the tone all season, leading his team with 20 points per game, and last week he took it to another level. He erupted for a season-high 38 points against defending 3A state champion Pusch Ridge, proving he can shine against elite competition. Earlier in the week, he dropped 35 on the road in a big win over Sabino, showcasing his ability to light up the scoreboard anytime, anywhere.
