Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I may be skinny but I am strong. Don’t underestimate me. I am also tall so I use my length and fastness to my advantage. If you need me down low I’m good at getting big and getting a bucket. Not only that I can drive and knock down pull ups and threes. Im unselfish so I am always willing to make the extra pass, and I love defense. I’m always wanting to get better and guard the best player.

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

One thing about me is that I view my teammates like they’re my family so I always got there back. Mentally I wanna win. So I do whatever it takes in order to do so. I do put a lot of pressure on myself simply because I wanna make it far in my career so during the game I take deep breaths and try to talk positive to myself in my head. Personality I’m fun but also focused.

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

I am always busy with basketball, it’s my life. However, I always love helping people out. For an example, I help out at my church whenever I can with the little kids and I help out with my brothers sports teams. Plus, whenever I see someone who needs help or just kindness I’m the first person to do so and spread Gods love upon others.

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

My mom always tells me that I’m born to be a leader and so I am always trying to be the best example of that I can be. I learn new qualities and skills everyday. Teamwork is huge to me because like I said before my teammates are like family and I’m 10 toes right behind them.

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

Yes I have. The main one if I’m being honest is my mental health. For the longest I was at a very low place in my life because of my dad. However, I’ve learned a lot from it and everything has gotten me closer to God and so I’m thankful because if none of those things happened I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
