Jack is a natural-born triple-threat scoring machine. Jack is a high-motor guard who loves to compete constantly on both sides of the ball. He lives for competitive close games that demand maximum effort to get the win. Jack can create his shots and uses his IQ and court vision to get shots for others. Jack would confidently say that he would rather make a great pass for someone else than get a great shot himself. Jack's greatest strength is his ability to read the court, defense, and make the right decisions, for game-winning plays. Jack's communication, helps encourage others despite adversity, and his ability to get downhill while helping create and keep advantages establishes his strong leadership abilities.
The most motivating thing that happened last season that will push him forward was his injury. It made him realize there was so much more than the game and motivated him. It helped Jack develop a different aspect of the game, which was becoming a better teammate being able to be there for his teammates and support them even when he wasn't out there helped grow and develop him as a person. Jack enjoyed seeing others succeed. Jack's goals this season are to win the district for the third time, win the region, and play at Tennessee Tech while contesting for a state title!
Playing AAU for Pro One 2025 and 865 Elite Jack was looking to improve his all-around game while improving his right hand and constantly getting shots. He worked on growing the chemistry with the guys on his high school team. Jack is very grateful for the seasons he had with these 2 teams. He traveled to Texas, to win nationals and multiple other big tournaments. He is grateful for his teammates and coaches that surround him.
A dunk or a nice 3-ball fuels Jack the most on the court, feeling like it helps gain momentum, and he does his best to make the most out of it to help keep it!
Jack constantly has a next-play mentality. A coach once told Jack if you let that one play affect you and put your head down it would affect others, and everyone knows as well, that one play can affect the whole game, win or lose.
A coach can expect consistency and reliability from Jack. Throughout high school and AAU Jack makes it a priority to show up and show out to practice, provide leadership, and overall be the hardest worker in the gym.
Jack considers himself a D2 or D3 player because of his ability to shoot, facilitate, and guard all 5 positions. Jack would consider Naia or Juco. The way the transfer portal has affected recruiting for high school athletes he believes any opportunity to play at the next level is a blessing!
I assess that Jack is spot on and he will thrive at either because of his on-court work ethic, blue-collar/ glue guy mentality with the ability to score when he needs to. Just watching Jack in his fall league his development from last season is very evident as he almost is a consistent double-double guy every night. Jack's relentless work ethic on the floor is refreshing and it doesn't change. Consistent performance you can count on. Jack will be a steal, an amazing teammate, and fill any role the coach needs with pride and joy. I am hyped to see his last season run, it will be special. Stay tuned.
