Personal Statement

My name is Payton Branch, I am a sophomore at Wilbur Wright city College in Chicago, IL. I am a 6'3" guard who can shoot, is a tenacious defender, and a high energy guy. 

My greatest attributes, however, go beyond my skills within the game. Many coaches have told me that my intangibles are through the roof. I have a high basketball IQ; I am also a natural leader and a great teammate who loves to uplift those around me. My work ethic is my real pride and joy. In any gym that I am in, I will never be outworked. If someone works as hard as me, then that means I am doing my job of leading by example, but I will never be outworked.

I am looking for an opportunity at a school that will not only let me further my basketball career, but will help me complete my degree and continue growing into the man I hope to be.
