About Ayden

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am at my best with the ball in my hands dictating pace and action. I can hit the 3 ball on a pull up or off motion action and can get to the rim for a dunk. My low post game is very effective when I play the guard position also. In high school on the varsity level I prefer to guard the PG and can switch and guard the 1-4 effectively and using my length to disrupt passing lanes and block shots.

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

Im not one to seek attention or celebrate in the face of others. But I have been invited to some very high end basketball camps. Recent Camp Invites: The 2025 Chris Paul Rising Stars National Camp in North Carolina. The 2026 Phenom 150 National Basketball Camp in California. Attended CrossRoads EIC in Kansas City August 1-3. Had a fun time and a fantastic weekend of high end basketball.

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

Iam in Cross Country, Ag, and FFA along with Choir and Band.

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

I am a very helpful individual. I like to see others succeed and get a sense of accomplishment for that. That is where my goal of being a lead guard in college comes from. I wont quit on a project or workout until it is done correctly no matter how tired Iam.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I work out with Sully Felberg, Chris Bevers and Bo Begeman everyday. They challenge and push me every day. I look up to them and competing against them helps me to bring out my potential.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a school where I can be seen and heard by my professor's and my coaches. I like it when there is clear line of communication with my team. Im not big into distractions but I do like to participate and be a part of school activities and happenings. School spirit is big where I come from. I want to get a drafting/engineering degree.

Another out-of-stater, Ayden Nelson played near the basket for Team 5 as it’s tallest player, standing at 6’3″. A rim-protector on the defensive side of the floor, Nelson possesses the length to swat away shots for his team and to get physical on the boards as a rebounder.
