Jared Chatham '16 Recruiting Profile

Basketball has been a major proponent in my drive to success, the lessons I have garnered go far beyond the rules and fundamentals of the sport. The sport has exemplified the very basis of a strong work ethic, discipline, and the ability to work in a collective team atmosphere while not losing sight of my personal goals and aspirations. It has long been a dream of playing at the collegiate level;  My strong ball handling skills, soft and accurate touch, and high acumen for the game fused with my drive for excellence has helped to mold me into a strong team leader.
