Andrew Van Kirk '17 Recruiting Profile

As of now I attend Severn School in Severna Park, Maryland. It is a very prestigious private school and academically challenging, as I average about 3-4 hours of homework each night. With this amount of work, it has taught me to budget my time so that I still have time to train everyday, whether it be the weightroom or on the court. Last year as a sophomore, I played on my varsity team. As a basketball player, one of things that helps me to be successful is my relentless work ethic which keeps me moving forward. On the court, I play unselfishly and as a team player, while still recognizing when a play needs to be made. Being 6'6 allows me to have the ability to be an all around player. I can post up, play outside, finish above the rim, and shoot three-pointers if need be. One of my biggest assets would definately be my mid-range shooting. In terms of carreer options I am considering going into law, working with the enviornment, and going into water management.  With this being said, I want to find a college that can give me numerous carreer options in/or relating to these fields. But I am always open to try new things as there is still some uncertainty in carrer choice. All in all, I am looking for a college that will lead me to a carrer that I can be proud of both on the court, and in the classroom. Also I am looking forward to making a positive contribution immediately to whatever college team I play for, being granted the opportunity to play at the college level.
