Trent Wakefield ‘14 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

Hello, my name is Trent Wakefield.  I live in Granite Falls, North Carolina and attend South Caldwell High School.  I will graduate in June, 2014.  My dream is to actively compete in basketball at the collegiate level.  I have been playing organized basketball since the age of 5.  During my high school years, I have played both basketball and baseball while maintaining a straight A average.  Prior to high school, I played in the point guard position.  After entering high school, I developed into a shooting guard. I now possess the skills to play either position at the next level.  My best offensive weapon is the three point shot.  I am very consistent in knocking down the perimeter shot.  In order to improve my play, I have also developed into a slashing guard.   I have been a varsity starter for the past two years and currently serve as Captain of my team.  I choose to lead by example, working hard each and every day.  I also have worked very hard in the classroom, therefore academics is a priority in the school I choose.  I have a great understanding of the game but hope to learn new things daily in order to improve my game.  I hope to make a positive impact on my college team.
