Ethan Thomas '18 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ethan Koby Thomas. I am 17 years old. I am 5'10" and 175 lbs. I love playing sports ever since my parents signed me up for flag football at the age of 5. Throughout the years, I have participated in a variety of sports: football, basketball, baseball, track and wrestling. Overall, I have been playing basketball and football more consistently. When I am not playing sports, I enjoy weight training and pick-up basketball games at the local YMCA.

I have a strong work ethic, and it can be proven by my work history as a gardener for the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum; it is a part of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities youth project.  I started working there when I was 12 years old. Every summer, I plant and grow vegetables. I conduct business meetings to market our products to local restaurants. I’ve learned to form a sales plan, show case our products and function as an entrepreneur. I have a long term working history with the Minnesota Arboretum/ University of Minnesota- Twin Cities. I am proud to be in an organization that’s associated with an academic setting.

Currently, I am in the process of taking preparation classes for ACT/SAT test. I plan on finishing strong in the next three years of high school. I know that my proven athletic skills, commitment to high ethical and team standards, and flexible response to situations would allow me to make a significant contribution on your team. I would welcome the chance to be a part of your student body. Please know that I appreciate your time and consideration.
