Wilton Gomez '19 Recruiting Profile

My Name is Wilton Gomez and I am a senior at the High School of Arts and Technology  and a member of the MLK Knight. Ever since I could remember what brought me the most joy in life was playing basketball.  At a young age I made it a goal of mine to play at basketball at the highest level, as a professional in the United States or abroad.  Playing at the College level is a step in that direction.

I have many roles in life but one I most identify with is, Student Athlete.  As a student athlete I must work hard both off and on the court. First in order to play on my team I must keep up my grades.  I have been able to juggle maintaining a 3.0, playing basketball and holding a job.  At times this has been difficult and has required a lot of work but I have really been focused on my goal.  In college I look forward to giving my best both on and off the court.    

The best thing about playing basketball is being part of a team.  I think I could be an asset to any team. I have shown my ability to help motivate my teammates and lead by example both on and off the court.  It comes down to hard work.
