Jordan Newby '22 Recruiting Profile

Coaches will see that I have a strong work ethic and a passion for the game.  This passion and work ethic grew from as a little boy attending my father's high school practices where he was a coach for the local community  high school.  I learned the nuisances of the game by observing practices and games and then taking what I saw and practiced it at home.  It was in these moments that I garnered a dream to play college basketball.  I have decided to study sports medicine as a degree and would love to have the opportunity to play ball as well.  Growing up with a dad that was a high school coach, I learned that value of hard work, integrity and supporting my team. I work very hard to remain coachable at all times and positively contribute to my team everyday both on and off the court. I always strive to be the first one in the gym and the last one out.  I have been playing AAU Ball since 5th grade and I have played under different coaches and played with many different team  members.  My character is based upon loyalty and commitment, a drive to be better person on and off the court. Academically, I enjoy school and I have already taken 10 college classes at the local community college through running start and attained a place on the honor roll with a 3.6 GPA as a Junior.
