Wisconsin-Stout commit. Currently ranked No. 133 in the state. 5-foot-9, 161-pound frame. Hit leadoff and played center field for Brookfield East. Right-handed hitter with a simple, athletic swing and feel for the barrel, showing the ability to drive the ball in the air with authority to the pull side and backspin. Defensively, he showed as a quality outfielder with rangy routes and the ability to cover ground. A senior follow with balanced traits on both sides of the ball.
