Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am an Aggressive Defense Player and a Shifty Offensive Player. When I am Playing Defense my goal is to completely shut down their offense whether it is their best shooter or best ball handler I read their offense and go into their zone. As an Offensive player I look to set up the plays for my teammates while reading their defense to score or set up my teammates for successful shots for assists.

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

I am a team leader and team player. My focus is to grow as a player every year through hard work and to grow my shooting percentage as well. Helping teammates to become productive teammates and good outlets to deliver the ball to them for successful lay ups and 3 point shots to create assists. My personality is a leader, friendly, humble, personable, team player, driven, hardworking and helpful.

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

I have developed a strong team and positive leader mindset mostly through my training over the past three years with PGC Basketball Training and my High School Coaches. I work continuously to be a strong leader and mentor on and off the Court, Field and Track. I will be starting with Blount County Rescue to give back to my community as a volunteer rescue member.

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

My biggest Challenges have been developing my skills to a higher level year round through my hard work and a never quit mentality to be ready and able to play college ball.
