Cornell Houston '23 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to attend college as a student-athlete to play basketball while earning a business degree that will prepare me to work with my parents in their business, and ultimately start my own business. I currently have a 3.65 GPA while taking several AP classes and enrolled in a very intensive Center for International Studies and Languages (CISL) program. My consistent work ethic in developing my basketball skills, and physical strength, agility and speed training with my performance trainers and coaches make me a good candidate for college coaches seeking a strong and physical scoring shooting guard that rebounds and defends well.  My experience  playing on the wing scoring midrange and from three-point, as well as scoring on the post and in the paint will give a college basketball program a versatile athlete.  I am a dual-sport athlete also playing varsity football as a  defensive end/tackle.  During Spring/Summer 2021 I played AAU with Hoop Life for Coach Kevin Harris.

I am passionate about basketball since I started playing in first grade.  One of the highlights of my basketball career to date was leading my 13U AAU Higher Level AAU team to a Final Four appearance in the National AAU Tournament. As a freshman at Hylton High School I played full time on JV and started most games.  During my sophomore season as a starter I continued to develop my in-game playmaking skills and impact as a shooting guard, strong defender and rebounder.  I had my career high 21 points vs Potomac in our final game.  Ultimately, I'm looking forward to becoming a successful student-athlete in college and winning championships at the college level.
