Maki Strong-Baines '24 Recruiting Profile

Great blessings to all. My name is Maki Strong-Baines and as of May 24, 2023 I am classifed as a high school senior (c/o 2024). I have been involved in sports since the age of 6 years old. I have participated in a total of five sports: basketball, football, karate, baseball, and track and field. My freshman year was very rough just the same as so many other high schoolers because school interactions was all done behind a computer screen (COVID-19). My sophomore year, I reconnected with former football teammates from my peewee years and they encouraged me to get back on a football field for my high school years. I was ready to prove and show my school family what I could contribute to the team but our football coaching staff came and left over the last few years. Now as a senior with very little film, I am extremely motivated to push past my adversities and execute on showing how I would be a great asset.
