Mikla Jackson '17 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations are to attend a 4 year university with strong academics that will allow me to pursue my degree in sports communication and broadcasting. Being a student athlete you must maintain high academics while playing competitive sports. Over the last 4 years I have been able to maintain a 3.5 GPA while playing youth, and high school basketball, something that I plan on continuing to achieve during my collegiate career.

What makes me a good candidate for your team is,  I believe in playing team basketball. To me, team means Together Everyone Achieves More. I pride myself on being an all around basketball player but understands that it all starts with defense. What defense means to me is energy, passion,desire, and commitment. These four words are the words I use to model my game.

I understand that most college recruits are talented, hard workers and are passionate about the game, and so am I  but what makes me different from other recruits is that I'm coachable, I'm always looking for ways to improve my game, I push myself daily to be best player I can be on and off the court. My reputation in my Community is upheld with high remarks. I'm active member of Crenshaw Church Of Christ, where I work closely with  the youth in Church activities such as Kid day, and Summer Camps, and mentor programs.
