What Separates Him
Athletic Profile
Elite Vertical
Fast-twitch explosive power that out-jumps D1-committed middles with more experience and years of training. The hardest attribute to develop — and he arrived with it.
Rapid Development
Sophomore year was his first on JV. Junior year he became the top middle on a competitive club team. The improvement curve is steep and still climbing.
Elite Efficiency
Averaged .455 through most of his junior high school season and finished at .395 for the year — top 10 in Ohio — achieved with three different setters.
Still Growing
Currently 6'3.5" barefoot, 6'5" in shoes · 8'3" standing reach · 11'3" block touch · 11'10" approach touch. Projected to reach 6'5" barefoot. The ceiling on this profile is not yet visible.
Coachability
Absorbs feedback immediately and applies it in the same session. Vocal leader on the court — communicates, competes, and elevates the players around him.
Academic Excellence
4.2 GPA · 30 ACT · Honors and AP coursework. The combination of elite athleticism and genuine academic achievement is rare at any level.
