Nathaniel Wylie '22 Recruiting Profile

Hard working, open minded, coachable,  thoughtful and always looking to improve...these are words that teachers and coaches have used to describe me.  As a student-athlete, I have taken the idea that I can always improve at my craft to heart.   

I am coming into my senior year, stronger, faster, and more confident than ever. I am ready for the year and know I will give my teammates and coach the very best I have. I shown discipline with my diet and workout routine so that I can be prepared. 

On the court,  I am a leader. I handle and distribute the ball well and I can finish around the basket and connect on the 3 ball.   I can defensively rebound the ball and lead the transition fast break and pass or finish.  On defense,  I am strong on ball, and have frequently defended the best scorers on the opposing teams. 

I am looking to play basketball at a competitive level.  In college, I want to work with a team of peers and coaches that are dedicated to improving together each day.  I want to earn a four year degree that will help me achieve my career goals in criminal justice.  I have learned that basketball and education are very similar- they both take a lot of work but they develop character and skills that will help me in life. 

Worth noting: I am taking and doing well in 3 college classes this senior year. My average as of first quarter is a 94.
 I also helped my school collect and deliver food to those in need for Thanksgiving. That was a great day of service especially since we were delivering to my very own community where I live.
