Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Long, athletic combo guard with high IQ and explosive upside. I make smart reads, finish in a variety of ways through contact, and lock up players in both press and zone. Big wingspan, elite vertical, and I impacts both ends with energy and poise.

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

Obsessed with the grind. First in the gym, last out. I train 4–6 hours daily after school and spend every free moment watching film, studying the game, and finding ways to improve. My mindset is relentless—I’m built to outwork everyone.

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

I’m not in any organizations yet, but I’m locked in on attending the Prep Hoops Top 250 Camp and making a name for myself. I’m new to the camp and circuit scene, but I’m built for it—ready to compete, get exposure, and earn my spot.

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

I’ve developed leadership, teamwork, and confidence through both basketball and life. I’ve done community service in the past, which helped me build discipline and communication skills. On the court, I’ve learned how to stay composed under pressure, push others to be great, and lead by example. My focus, consistency, and ability to adapt make me a strong teammate and a high-IQ player.

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

Yes, I’ve faced major challenges. For years, I didn’t have the money or space to work out or attend camps and circuits. But I made a choice to stop making excuses and outwork everyone with what little I had. I trained wherever I could—parks, driveways, anywhere. I’ve been chasing circuit opportunities with limited resources, doing everything I can to get my name out. It’s been a hard journey, but

What type of college are you looking for?

Like most hoopers, the dream is to play D1—but I see any college opportunity, from major programs to JUCO, as a blessing. I’m locked in and ready to work hard wherever I go to earn my spot and keep leveling up. No matter where I start, I’m determined to grind my way to the top.
