Hoop Seen- Playin...HS Varsity Season...JT Tipton Seven R...Personal Statement
My name is JT Tipton, I am 17 years old and will be graduating in the class of 2026. I'm a 5'10 guard with a weight of 165. I am currently enrolled in high school honors classes with my homeschool program. I would love to attend a college or University anywhere in the United States. I am open to attending any college or university and not being state specific. I would just love to play basketball at the next level. This can vary from Division 1 to a Junior College, whatever is a best fit for my future. When it comes to the school I choose, basketball won't be the only reason for picking the University or College. I want to study sports management, so picking a school would determine this as well.
I feel that I would be a strong piece of any team. I am a leader among my peers on and off the basketball court along with being a very hard worker. I will give 110 percent effort every time I touch the court and classroom. I am very confident in myself, and I believe I could be a great fit for your program.
