Jacob Lester '22 Recruiting Profile

At the age of 4 on TV I was watching a Duke basketball game, and then that night I was watching the Dallas Mavericks. Ever since that day I have been in love with basketball. I have tried baseball, football, lacrosse, track, and soccer, but none of those have stuck to me like basketball. My goal is to play basketball at a collegiate level, and try to make it to a higher level. I will always hustle, bring energy, and give heart since I have this passion for basketball. I am a good defender, and my offense is pretty good, but it can use work. I believe everything can use work, but if I had to focus on one thing it would be offense. At school I am studious and always on top of my grades making sure they are as good as I know they can be. While I am at college, and not playing basketball, I am going to focus on being a sports analyst. I will study and learn so I can get the most knowledge on being a sports analyst if basketball does not work out after college. Overall I love to work and get better no matter what I do. Outside of school and sports I love to hang out with my friends or with my family as I believe these components are important to balancing your life. Even though I love to play basketball and focus on getting better, you can’t do that 24/7 you need breaks, so I enjoy hanging out with my friends or my family.
