Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Versatile and explosive guard with a high basketball IQ. Strong on both ends of the court—efficient scorer, elite defender, and playmaker who thrives in transition and excels in creating opportunities for teammates.

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

I’m a 15 year old sophomore. Started school a year early & skipped a grade. Always being the youngest of my peers has pushed me to be a relentless competitor with a team-first mentality, that ALWAYS has something to prove. Focused, disciplined, and always striving to outwork the competition while staying humble and coachable.”

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

I’ve learned how to be a good leader by encouraging my teammates and helping them stay focused. I work hard to communicate on and off the court, and I try to set a good example by staying disciplined and accountable. I also enjoy giving back through volunteering when I can.

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

I’ve always been one of the youngest and smallest players on my teams, so I’ve had to work harder to prove myself. It’s taught me how to stay focused, be patient, and trust the process while constantly improving my skills and strength.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college with a strong basketball program where I can grow as a player and a person. Somewhere that will push me to develop my game for the next level. I want a school that values academics and has a supportive environment to help me succeed on and off the court.
