William Yates '24 Recruiting Profile

I would say my academic and athletic goals would be to make something of myself you know whether it’s making it in sports or make something of myself with whatever I decide to do the rest of my life and with that you know I have to stay motivated, What keeps me motivated is my friends and family always supporting me through every decision. I wouldn’t be at the point of sports or academic goals today. If it weren’t for all the support I’ve gotten from just fans off of Instagram or TikTok or just my friends and family in general so I appreciate everything you do for me I can’t thank them enough. Another thing that makes me determined for sports and academics is definitely my coaches they always push me to the next level whether it’s basketball or telling me to keep my grades up so I can play sports, so definitely my coaches who are always pushing me and knowing that I have the drive, energy, and determination to push myself forward. I would say what makes me different from other recruits Around the world is that you know I’ve always been like the shortest on my team and it’s hard  because we have a team full of people that are pretty tall. You don’t get put in as much, but luckily with me since my coaches know, I have drive and determination that I can push myself forward.
