About Orion

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a 6’1” combo guard who takes pride in impacting the game on both ends. I defend multiple positions, rebound hard, and bring consistent energy every possession. Offensively, I play strong at the rim, can stretch the floor with my three-point shot, and make winning plays. I’m competitive, physical, and always ready to do whatever it takes to help my team win.

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

Quiet and goofy!

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

N/a

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

I have volunteered downtown Detroit feeding the homeless and shoe drives

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

I’m currently part of a single parent home. I was bullied my freshman year in high school which made me transfer schools to a better place for me. I have been through several home robberies and my mom worked hard to get us to a better neighborhood and I’m thriving.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would like to go to school for Meteorology and looking for the best program schools.
