Matthew Thomas ‘16 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I have been playing basketball since I was seven years old. Since I first stepped on the court, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I have good ball handling skills, can drive to the basket effectively, a solid 3-point shot, and a high basketball IQ. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be the hardest working player for any team I am a part of.

Off the court, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I also regularly volunteer with special needs children and am employed as a counselor at a before/after school club.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the basketball court. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the best college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all peers and make my family proud.
