Landon Vega '25 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I started playing basketball, I have always been told I am too "skinny,"  "short," or "small" to play, but I don't let any of those comments affect me. I will keep on working hard to achieve my dream and play basketball at the next level. I am and will keep on doing everything I can in my power to prove everyone wrong. I make sure I do everything from doing well in school to practicing and working on my game every day. Since I was 6 years old, I have been playing soccer, but 4 years ago, ever since I touched a basketball and saw how the game was played, I fell in love with it. My first two years of high school, I did not make the varsity team, and unfortunately, my school did not offer a JV team, so I trained hard until I knew that I could make the team the following year. In my current junior year, I made the team just like I trained for, so if anyone is reading this, I am only asking for a chance, a chance to prove to myself, a chance to prove that I am not too "small" to play at the next level. What makes me different from other recruits is my dedication, I am willing to work hard and push myself to achieve my goals, from a athletic level to a academic level, I am also a leader on and off the court, I encourage and push my teammates to do their best.
