Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a 5’11” athletic combo guard with the versatility to also play on the wing. I’m a confident 3-level scorer who can create off the dribble, knock down shots, & finish through contact. I have strong court vision and enjoy facilitating for my teammates just as much as scoring. Defensively my length and timing allow me to be an impact shot blocker, and I take pride in being able to guard.

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

I’m a fierce competitor who hates to lose and always looks to make my teammates better. I bring energy, intensity, and a team-first mindset every time I step on the court. I’m known for my strong work ethic, staying consistent in the gym, and always being willing to learn. Off the court, I’m quiet and reserved, coachable, and focused on doing whatever it takes to improve and help my team succeed.

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

I’m a consistent Honor Roll student, earning First Honors, and a proud member of the All-Academic team. Outside of school and basketball, I’m actively involved in Second Baptist Church’s youth ministry, where I continue to grow as a leader and person.

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

As a team captain, I lead by example—both in games and during workouts with my teammates. I take pride in my work ethic and enjoy helping push others to get better. Off the court, I give back through community service by volunteering at my father’s annual back-to-school shoe giveaway. I donate and clean shoes to help students start the school year with confidence, sharing my passion for sneakers.

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

Off the court, I lost two great-grandparents—family means everything to me, so that was tough. On the court, we faced adversity with low numbers, a teammate switching sports, and another injured. I stepped up as a leader and helped guide us to a 14-4 record. Even after rolling my ankle late in the season, I pushed through and delivered big performances to help us finish strong.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking to compete at the highest level at a program that will continue to develop me both on and off the court. I want to be part of a culture that feels like family and a place I can truly call home.
