Lazerus Berisha '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coach,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Lazerus Berisha, and I will be entering Senior year in the fall at Saddle RIver Day School.  I am 6’6” and 205 pounds.  I have been playing basketball since first grade and football from first through eighth  grade.  I chose Saddle River Day for its academic excellence and burgeoning basketball program.

I am currently playing with the New Jersey Roadrunners as a small forward / power forward.  Growing up, I have always played the center in basketball and left tackle in football.  My strength is defense and mid-range shooting.  I believe it is important to always learn and develop new skills.

My goal is to play basketball in college and major in biology, with a focus on  stem cell research. I currently have a cumulative 3.9 GPA / 4.1GPA Junior year.  I was on the Honor Roll for the full year and have been on the Dean’s List.  I was also awarded the John C. Alford Grant in Freshman year.  In addition, I will be serving as the School Ambassador for Saddle River Day School.   I believe that hard work and being a team player are  important in everything you do in life. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.
