Andre Widmer '25 Recruiting Profile

I am trying to play basketball in college. My goal since I was a kid has always been to play at the collegiate level. To use basketball as a way to get me a scholarship into a college and be able to have an education that is funded. I love basketball and want to continue to play the sport and at the same time it is a useful tool to help me get into college. I am a talented basketball player, a hard nosed defender with quick hands and feet on defense and a good reliable shooter with tight handle and good vision. I am fast and able to control the offense at the point and create my own shot. I can play on and off the ball as my shooting ability is the best part of my game. Using my shooting ability I can play off that and attack the rim and midrange and create for my teammates and myself. I am super competitive and hardworking and have great hustle, as I am smaller I use that to my advantage to dive on loose balls and take charges, making the small hustle plays that matter. I know I need to work extra hard to play at the next level and I use that drive of being looked over for my size to push myself harder and harder, polishing my game the best I can. I love playing for my teammates as well, cheering and being loud on the court and on the bench. I am a supportive and good teammate that always wants the best for my teammates. I try to push them to be the best they can because together we make for our team's success. I am also not just hardworking in the gym, I work hard at my academics as I know that is the other part of the deal of being able to play in college. I am a hard worker always seeking to learn in the classroom. Challenging myself in the classroom with hard classes. I understand that my academics are super important if I want to get anywhere into the next level. I try my best to prepare myself for that. I am willing to work as hard as anyone or even harder in the classroom and on the court to be able to get the chance to play at the collegiate level.
