Lauryn Dunn '21 Recruiting Profile

I will always remember the first time my dad taught me to dribble a basketball when I was six in the middle of our house. I remember being so excited just to try. To this day I still feel that same excitement and energy every time I pick up a basketball.

Coming from a smaller school I’ve always had to opportunity to play on the varsity team. An ankle injury in the middle of my sophomore year should have ended my season but sitting on the bench taught me that I love playing too much. This was the year despite all its challenges, I realized I didn’t want to stop playing basketball after high school. Now I’m thankful for it. My persistence and stubbornness drove me to use my energy positively and I made it back for my team’s playoff game.

I’m looking for a school that will encourage me to always be my very best whether its on the court or in the classroom. I’m determined to be the best player, teammate, student, and person I can be.
