Jaylyn Hargett-Boyce '18 Recruiting Profile

My optimal goal is to become a professional basketball player, a semi-professional basketball player, or to work in the sports industry. To obtain this goal, I am focused on being the best player I can be as well as keeping my academics in order so that I can earn a BS degree in Sports Management from a great college. While obtaining my degree, I would love to have the opportunity to play basketball at the collegiate level. My love for basketball started at the age of 4. I have played all positions over the years and can sympathize and appreciate players in all positions due to my experiences. For the past 3 years, my role on the team has been as point guard or shooting guard. Sometimes my coaches use me as the power forward because for many years, my main role on the team was to be a forward. I enjoy driving for the score, shooting jumpers as well as obtaining rebounds and providing assist. My teammates tell me I am a pleasure to play with and that I am a team player. I am the type of player who plays hard on both defense and offense. I love to obtain rebounds both offensive and defensive. When playing offense, I make sure I look up the floor for the player who has the best shot (very similar to my QB role on the football field) and pass the ball to them for the score. It not about me, it’s about the team!
