Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a pass-first point guard, which means my main focus is getting my teammates involved and running the offense efficiently. I prioritize ball movement, court vision, and setting the tempo of the game. I take pride in being unselfish, communicating well, and being the floor general — making sure everyone is in the right spot and the team is flowing as one. Scoring isn’t my first option, but I can

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

I have a team-first mentality. I’m calm under pressure, focused, and always thinking one step ahead. I lead by example, stay composed, and bring positive energy no matter the situation. I’m competitive but unselfish — I care about winning and making the people around me better. I stay locked in, coachable, and always looking to improve.

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

I am involved in the 100 Black Men Club.

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

Basketball has helped me become a leader and a great teammate. As a point guard, I’ve learned to stay calm, communicate well, and put the team first. Community service taught me patience and how to be a good role model.

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

"One challenge I’ve faced is being overlooked because I’m a pass-first player. Some people focus more on scoring, but I had to stay confident in my style and trust that my value shows through leadership and making my team better. It taught me to stay focused, work harder, and never change who I am just to get attention.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that feels like a second home — where I can grow as a player and as a person. I want a strong basketball program that values team play and development, and a school that pushes me academically so I can succeed after college too. I’m looking for coaches who believe in me and a team culture built on trust, hard work, and family.
