August 2017March 2017November 2016June 2016May 2016Personal Statement
My long term career goal is to become an MLB player. I have received numerous character recognition awards in middle school and youth football. I have received numerous MVP awards in Baseball, Football, Basketball Track, and Soccer over my career. Most recently, I placed 3rd in State of Illinois in Long Jump competition with a 20' 07" at IESA Track and Field Finals. Most importantly, I have always made high honor roll at school and my cumulative GPA is 3.75 / 4.0. I work extremely hard at Baseball and Football in the offseason with various private lessons to develop and sharpen my skills, footwork, strength and conditioning. God has blessed me with exceptional speed, hand / eye coordination, and athleticism. I have always been a top player on all of my teams, regardless of sport. I am an extremely hard working person and doubt that anyone will put in more hours at skills development than myself. As such, I lead by example to make my teammates better. I always encourage my teammates to also partake in private lessons to improve upon their skills and abilities.

- Awesome 2 Day camp, very well organized, won def line drive contest with starting 3b, hitting really stood out. Hitting coach (McMullan) spent 10 minutes with me off the tee, Really liked the campus and quick inexpensive flight to VA. Great camp, really liked the coaches.
- Camp/Event

- Awesome; 2 day event. Lots of kids from Texas. Those area kids knew the coaches and were aggressive defensively. Was nt staying back and hit 10 RGB up the middle, 3 for inf hits, 4 stolen bases. I like the 2 inning games with 5 outs and 10v10. Lots of action in multiple positions. Need to stand out better, not sure TCU conveniently located however. A+ coaching staff. How much playing time??
- Camp/Event

- 1 day event; made great contacts with SIU and EIU coaches. Really like Coach Hudson of U of I, I stood out defensively especially receiving balls from Catchers with sub 2 pops. Scooped 10 out of 10 short hops. Went to warning track 3 times on deep pop ups, not hit squarely, 3 SS commits.
