Ryan Velez '26 Recruiting Profile

I want to play Division I Basketball, in order to eventually get to the NBA. In college, I want to complete a career in Psychology, or a related field. I believe I bring great defensive and offensive skills to any team I join. I understand that talent can only take a person so far, but hard work and dedication are what make truly great individuals, no matter what their profession is. And I apply that to myself every day of my life. I am extremely dedicated to doing what I need to do to succeed, and in a team environment, I strive for all to succeed with me as a unit. My abilities as a point guard also enable me to engage my teammates in the offense. And with my skillset, I can provide them the confidence and courage they may need in the huddle; that whenever they need to see that they can count on their teammate to go the lengths of a game and come out with a victory, I am the one they can count on. My determination and tenacity are unmatched, and those along with my skills are just some of the many things that separate me from the pack.  I believe I am a perfect fit for any team that is looking to improve with someone that is passionate, dedicated, and very skilled at their craft. Someone who is coachable and who loves to work as a unit with his teammates, someone who will do whatever it takes to get my team the victory.
