Brayden Gardner '24 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to one day play college basketball at any level. I have put in countless hours working towards this aspiration. In order for this to become a reality, I am willing to do whatever is required and will continue to put in the behind the scenes work because I know it will pay off. 

I will make a great addition at the college level for several reasons. First, I am an extremely hard worker. I am the first one in the gym and the last one out of the gym, regardless if it is a mandatory practice or optional open gym. Second, I am willing to accept constructive critism and apply  it to the game in order to improve my performance. Third, I am a great team player who encourages my teammates.  This  helps build a solid relationship which allows us to work together as one.  All of these qualities will help contribute to the team at the college level. 

One main difference that I have from other recruits is my dedication to help the younger kids who love basketball. Part of my summer is spent helping these younger kids learn the game of basketball while also helping build the confidence and dedication that is necessary in this competitive sport. The greatest accomplishment is knowing that this younger generation looks up to me in hopes of following in my footsteps one day.
