Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

How I describe my game is that I’m a small guard but play fast. I can do everything on the floor such as score, knock down open shots, and get my teammates open. I can play defense at a high level and rebound the ball.

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

I am a happy go lucky person. I build a brother relationship with my teammates so that they trust me on the court. My mentality is to win! My goal is to show D1 coaches that I’m a basketball player who has the drive to win, a leader on the court teammate.

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

I have received several honor roll awards.

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

I began training at the age of 8. 6am workouts as well as late night workouts have helped to develop my strong work ethic. My leadership ability has come naturally. I believe you must be a good team player to be a good leader. I am also a camp volunteer which I enjoy because I get to work with younger kids and watch them grow and develop.

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

The main challenge I have faced is people overlooking me because of my height. I may be undersized but I have a lot to my game and I play with high energy. People have to see me more than once because they can’t believe I can sustain that level of play for an entire game.
