Penelope Arroyo '26 Recruiting Profile

Basketball has been a passion of mine since middle school, and over the years it has taught me resilience, leadership, and how to stay composed under pressure. These are skills that have helped me both on and off the court. As I have faced challenges, whether it's balancing academics, sports, leadership roles, overcoming tough losses, or personal family issues, basketball has given me an outlet to grow both mentally and emotionally, strengthening my ability to adapt and overcome adversity.

I strive for excellence in both academics and athletics, and in college, I plan to pursue a Rehabilitation & Health Science degree to achieve my dream career in Sports Medicine. This path allows me to stay in the sports world while helping athletes recover, prevent injuries, and perform at their best. I’m passionate about making a real impact and working closely with others, and I’m eager to find a program that values both education and athletics as much as I do.

What makes me stand out is my work ethic, leadership, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways. I bring a unique style of play, combining my scoring ability, defensive intensity, and court vision to help my team win. I take pride in doing whatever it takes to contribute to my team. 

Basketball has shaped me into the person I am today: driven, disciplined, and always striving to improve. I’m excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing my journey at the collegiate level.
