Omari Dillard-Johnson ‘21 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I am a 6'0" Guard/Small Forward from Houma, La.  I have started on varsity at Covenant Christian Academy for the past 3 years.  Education and basketball are both my passions.  I am a 4.0 GPA student.   I use my skills in both to work in my community.  I have given a free basketball camp at the DuLarge Gym for the past 4 years to ages 5 to 12.  I also have a program called Sunrise.  It is in honor of my grandfather who received his wings in 2016  due to Lung Cancer.  We used to sit up and watch the sun rise together so every chance I get I speak to teens about the dangers of smoking.  I am who I am today all because of my grandfather and my mom.  I want to make him proud as he looks down on me.

I am looking for an educational environment with an outstanding education program in business and sports management.   Also, where I can acquire an equivalent balance of sports and classroom.    My athletic environment would be one where I can make an immediate impact in any way that the coach needs me do for the team.  I may be 6 feet but my nickname is "Samson - from the Bible" because I am very strong and size never matters with me.  I would love to play for your team!
