I have played for the Cache Valley Wolverines since I was 8 years old. My best memory as a Wolverine was when we competed in The Cedar Point Tournament in Sandusky Ohio. We had the opportunity to play teams from all over the country. We won some games and lost some games. I hit 5 home runs that week, contributing to the 25 HR’s I had that season, but the best part about the trip were the memories that I made with my team. I am grateful for my team and coaches, especially Jed Jensen, I would not be where I am today in baseball without them. My goal is to play baseball for as long as possible. I am looking forward to playing for Justin Jensen and the rest of the coaching staff at Ridgeline High School.

Thank you Baseball Utah for this recognition!  I am so grateful for my Coaches - they have sacrificed so much of their time and effort to help me learn, grow and fall in love with this amazing game.  I have learned to embrace all of the life lessons baseball teaches me, both successes and failures.  I absolutely love this game!  I played 5 years for the Utah Grays, coached by a baseball genius - Mike Goff.  I played this last season with Mountain West and Trosky National. I have hundreds of great memories playing baseball but at 12U, unofficially winning the Semi-finals in Cooperstown and at 13U, officially winning the Championship in Omaha.  I will re-live those two games forever.  The greatest part of this game, are the really good friends you pick up along the way - bros for life!  I am very excited to play at Riverton.

High School: Olympus High School

Positions: SS, P, C

I played with several teams growing up – Olympus Titans, Kaysville Rhinos/PCH, MBA Grays, Brighton Braves, Mountain West, and LumberKings.  All of these teams had great coaches and I wouldn’t be the player I am without these coaches and diversity that each team offered.  I’d especially like to thank Donnie Saba, Ryan Ossmen, Travis Weaver, Laren Nalder, my brother Corbin, and most of all, my Dad.  They have all been an inspiration in my life and I can’t thank them enough for how much they have helped me grow.  My favorite memory was winning Cooperstown Dreams Park Championship with the Brighton Braves and pitching in the Championship game with 7 K’s in three innings.  That was so awesome and best of all the game was on my 12thbirthday and was my lifelong dream to play in that game.  The next best memories were beating Smartense in the 13u PG World Series in Florida and they were the #4 ranked team in the nation and then for getting selected twice to participate the in the 11u & 12u USA Baseball NTIS series.  I love playing with my teammates on the Trosky National 2026 travel team and excited to add depth on the Olympus HS Titans team coached by the legend Corland Felts.  He is such a Great coach and Mentor.  My Dreams are to play College baseball at either Vanderbilt or LSU and to play Pro-ball on the same team with my brother someday.  In the off season I enjoy skiing, dirt biking, boating, fishing, pheasant hunting and anything to do with baseball.
