I've always believed that basketball is more than just a game—it's about showing up for your team when it matters most. Growing up in Austin, Minnesota, I've learned that success comes from putting in the work when no one's watching. Early morning workouts and late-night shooting sessions have taught me discipline and commitment. On the court, I play with heart and hustle. Whether I'm driving to the basket or setting a screen for a teammate, I'm focused on doing whatever helps us win. My coaches have pushed me to be a better leader, and I've learned that being a good teammate means celebrating others' successes as much as your own. Basketball has shaped who I am off the court too. It's taught me how to handle adversity, stay composed under pressure, and work toward long-term goals. As I look toward graduating in 2031, I'm excited to bring my dedication and team-first mentality to the next level. I'm ready to compete, grow, and contribute to a program that values hard work and integrity as much as I do.
