About Titus

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Versatile big with guard skills—can handle, pass, and shoot. Dominates inside with size and footwork, but just as effective facing up with a smooth midrange and confident three-point shot. High IQ player with strong court vision and poise on the block.

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

I am a confident and composed competitor with a team-first mindset. I play with poise and purpose, using high basketball IQ to make smart decisions and elevate those around me. I embrace challenges, stay locked in under pressure, and bring a quiet intensity to every possession. I'm driven to improve, unselfish in play, and focused on winning.

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

I actively volunteer with various non-profit organizations, contributing time and energy to support local community initiatives. I'm committed to making a positive impact off the court through service and leadership.

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

I’ve developed leadership through basketball and community service, learning how to support teammates and take initiative when it matters most. Teamwork is a core part of how I play—whether it’s making the extra pass or communicating on defense. Volunteering with non-profit organizations has taught me empathy, responsibility, and the importance of giving back. I strive to lead by example.

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

I’ve faced the challenge of constantly pushing myself to grow beyond expectations—on the court and in the community. Whether it’s developing my game, staying committed to volunteer work, or managing school responsibilities, I’ve learned how to stay focused, adapt, and lead through effort and example. Every challenge has helped shape my mindset and made me stronger.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college with a competitive basketball program, strong coaching, and a culture that emphasizes development, discipline, and leadership. I want to be part of a team that plays with purpose and intensity, and a campus that supports academic success and personal growth. A place where I can thrive on and off the court.

6’5″ F from Tinley Park and Meanstreets . Could be a top-30 freshman with the tools at his disposal. Did a great job in his opening game of getting to the line and finishing through contact. He was also super aggressive on the class. Showed confidence backing down opponents to the rim and had great body control.
