Ryan Sargent '15 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ryan Sargent. I am a 2015 graduate at Jacobs High School in Algonquin, IL.  I am 6 feet 2 inches, weigh 175 pounds, and run a 6.85 in the sixty yard dash.  I am currently ranked 21st in Illinois (106 overall) on the Prep Baseball Report Rankings for the Class of 2015.

During my freshman year I was the starting center fielder on the sophomore baseball team and played on Jacobs' summer varsity team which took 3rd place in the state championship.  As a sophomore, I played Varsity on a team that made it to the Super-Sectionals of the State Tournament.  For summer, I played up an age level on the Illinois Indians 17U Tribe, which traveled all around the country to play the best competition around.  

I also played basketball and play football.  I was the starting point guard on the sophomore basketball team as a freshman and I'm currently in my 2nd year on the varsity football team playing wide receiver, kicker & defensive back.

I have worked hard to be the best at every sport I play, but before anything else I want to win.  I could have 10 turnovers that game and miss every shot I take or go 0-3 with 3 strikeouts, but if my team wins the championship, I will be happy.  I live for the pressure situations; making clutch baskets, getting that 2 out single to push in the tying run, or making the game winning interception, that is why I love to be on the field.  

I want to attend a college that has an outstanding baseball program.  That being said, I am looking for a school that has good academics along with a student body that bleeds the colors of their school.  I am sure the right fit is out there for me.
