Verbally committed to Northern Illinois.
Northern Illinois signee. 5-foot-11, 175-pounds with lean strength and athleticism throughout, fills out a uniform nicely. Started at shortstop and hit seventh for Edwardsville. Premium defender at shortstop, covers ground effortlessly with soft funnels, a quick release, and the arm strength to stick on the left side at the next level. Performed plenty offensively throughout both days at state; homered and drove in four in the semi-final, had a clutch double in the state championship game. Level bat path with some length through the zone, stayed on plane and found the barrel often to the pull-side. Also an above-average runner with borderline plus run times out of the box. Was a catalyst in Edwardsville capturing the 4A state championship this spring.
Positional Profile: SS/OF
Body: 5-11, 175-pounds. Athletic frame

5-foot-10, 155-pound, well-proportioned, right-handed hitting infielder. Played a steady infield, mostly at third base throughout the weekend for GBA. Clean actions, sure-handed and arm played accurate with enough strength for the left-side of the diamond. At the plate, open, quiet setup, stride works back to square. Direct path, pull-side tendencies. Follow 2023 infielder.
