Jackson "JR" Ross '23 Recruiting Profile

As a young man, 5 or 6 years old, I hung at the gym with my dad on Saturdays as he was the athletic director.  This early experience helped me develop a passion for the game of basketball. Having been cut from a 6^thgrade comp team for which I certainly felt I deserved to make, gave me the desire to compete and prove others wrong.  I thrive on being the underdog. “In the face of defeat, gives me the will to compete”.  This has been my club team statement when we lose, don’t dwell on the loss but get back after it.

As my parents are public servants, they have instilled the importance of education and serving others. My academic goals for High School are to maintain a min 3.5 GPA, continue to serve as a student body officer and help make my school academically and athletically recognized. I pride myself as being a loyal and caring friend, willing to go the extra mile to help others.

Fun Fact: I have a twin sister
