Jalen Nelson '17 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals begin as a student ensuring that I earn a degree and prepare myself for my future career.  Supply Chain Management is my preferred field of study.  My goals as an athlete is to always improve my game, my awareness of it, and always learn new knowledge. 

I'd be a good candidate for any team because the team will receive a hard working individual that doesn't like to lose and always competes with toughness. While competing with toughness, I still understand the concept of "We" rather than "Me". It is about the relationships I can build with my teammates and coaches and not be a chemistry killer but add on and boost the morale of the group.

My character consists of a person that is easy going, "laid back" as I am so often described, but once I step on the court I'm ready to do whatever I need to win. If that means playing aggressively along with making the simple plays. My academics have always been something that I have maintained so I would be eligible to play basketball. I maintain a great work ethic on and off the court for I have a 3. 16 grade point average and striving to increase it this last year of high school.  I've always been a leader but every leader has to learn how to follow and learn from others to get better.
