Jelal Williams '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old and fell in love with the sport. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

In the past year I have grown over 6 inches and I hope to have a few more left. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard to maintain a good GPA. I also volunteer at a local food bank that provides summer lunches to disadvantaged kids.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and in basketball. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.

What makes me different from everyone else on the team is that every day my main goal is to outwork everybody else. After practice I stay after to work on my endurance and speed, then I end it with free throw practices.
