Jalen Massengill '20 Recruiting Profile

Dedication, hard working, motivated and a team player describes who I am.  I have always taken as much pride in my schoolwork, as well as, my athletic achievements.  My ambition is to become a student athlete at the collegiate level.  Sports have been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.  No matter the sport, if there was a ball involved, I enjoyed the competition and game.  I played basketball, baseball and ran cross country and had success in all three.  However, basketball won out and it is a game I love to play.

In college, I  wish to pursue a career in business/marketing/sports management.  Through the volunteer work I did over the summer, I  now have a strong interest in sports management.  I want to work with kids using sports as a way to improve their self-esteem.  I would be a good candidate for any team because I am hard working, self motivated and a dedicated student.  I feel that school comes first and then basketball.  I am different from other recruits because I am self motivated and believe in working harder than anyone else.  Getting a task done won't always be easy but I never quit, therefore, I am ready to play at the next level.
