USP: What led you to this career? How did you end up at USP?

Dylan: My journey with USP began in 2014 where I attended a USP Showcase in Weston, FL. It was a fantastic event. I was a former client of USP in 2017 – they facilitated my transfer from MSU- Texas to UAH. I had an outstanding experience with them. This year they needed a presence in the Caribbean and I reconnected with Thomas. We both felt this would be a great step to take and I am so happy to be a part of this team.

USP: How long have you been at USP and what has been your proudest experience since working with us?

USP: What is the main mistake you see in the recruiting process?

Dylan: The main mistake I see in the recruiting process is the focus and promotion of ones statistics/playing level to gain entrance into a University instead of genuinely discovering what overall criteria is important to you as a student-athlete, in a University and in an Athletic program and if that criteria is the best possible mutual fit.

USP: What is your most important advice for a student and for the parents?

Dylan: My most important advice is to start your recruiting process early, trust it, and understand that everyone’s process is unique.
