Andrew Jackson '22 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to be an engineer one day. I want to go to college to major in engineering and possibly minor in business. I started playing baseball at 4 years old; I've moved from t-ball to varsity high school baseball at Riverdale Baptist School. I love the game of baseball. As an African-American playing baseball has not always been the easiest thing for me. I have had to overcome ridicule and many questions about why I chose baseball instead of other sports. I work hard and put in work outside of scheduled practice times. I want to outwork everyone...more action and less talking. As a left hand player I can play multiple positions on the field. I am sometimes called on to play catcher and short stop because of my athleticism. I am about lifting my teammates up and calling them out when they're not working hard enough. I expect the same from my teammates when I am not giving 100%. I have had my struggles academically, but thankfully, with hard work and grit I am now on the upswing. I am committed to my academic and athletic success. I want to be great on and off the field.
