Will Mayfield '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a team oriented, athletic small forward. I thrive on being part of a team that is there for each other on and off the court. I do whatever is required for the team. I know it is easy to say you work hard as a player. But I honestly believe my hustle and the intensity I bring to a game is my strength. My defensive game is tight and in offence I can find opportunities for the team to score. 

I have been fortunate in being selected in 2016 and 2017 for the u18 state team that competes at the Australian nationals. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got to play some great basketball. I was a starter in both teams.   I have also been part of the National Player Program run through Basketball Australia and Basketball ACT.

In 2017 I was selected in to the Canberra Gunners Academy team. This team is the development team for the Canberra Gunners, the top level team for Canberra. This season we played off in the finals but missed out on playing in the grand final. I got to play against some tough opposition and as a rookie. 

At club level I got to experience two grand finals in 2017 in the premiership level men's teams I play in. 

I have just moved to NYMA from Australia to finish my senior year of high school.

I am looking to make the most from my College experience. I want to focus on my studies while still getting to play the game I love.
