On August 4th through August 6th, PBR Florida will take a select group of players in the Classes of 2018 and 2019 to represent Florida at the PBR Future Games at Grand Park in Indianapolis, IN.

Players receive exposure unlike any other event for underclassmen. Last year, more than 130 colleges from all over the country were in attendance, including coaches from every Division I power conference in the nation. Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons have been considered.

Scouting Report: 5/13/16- Currently ranked No. 34 in the Florida 2019 class. 5-foot-10, 180-pounder with a physical, athletic frame and a strong lower half. Slightly open with a wide stance at the plate. Short, quick swing with the ability to square the ball up. Strong forearms and good hand strength. Hustles down the line.
