About Rylee
Ry played multiple years of football and baseball as a youth just like most kids in America. His teams were always in the championship or bringing home a region/division title. At 9, he transitioned to travel baseball with Next Level (10u) and played out of Lakepoint in Emerson, Georgia. He forced his dad to 3+ hours of practice a day. This was every single day for almost 4 months for that fall season. His skill set massively grew with the coaching of Todd Cole and the extra work. He spent one year with them, and then moved up to a higher ranked (AA) team named Titans (12u) out of East Cobb. The next year, he moved up again to a AAA\major team called Blue Angels just outside of East Cobb.
Titans and the Blue Angels commonly called on Rylee to demonstrate how to do certain tasks and even help train other players to play their positions. Coaches seem to love using him as an example during practice and as a “coach” on the field.
He started playing basketball at South Paulding through the feeder program in the 6th grade. He gave baseball up due to coaching issues and personal challenges in his life at the time. He picked football back up in the 7th grade for South Paulding.
Rylee seemed to improve quite quickly in basketball and football at South Paulding. Each year he would grow more and more, and his playing time would slowly increase. He played for the GA Stunners (AAU) his 7th grade year.
In eighth grade, he picked baseball back up and kept playing football and basketball. He was a starting shortstop and commonly played second base. The team was 50% full of catchers so he did not do any catching duties, but he would practice just in case he was needed. This was his 1st year of being a triple sport athlete, and all were played for South Paulding’s feeder teams. Rylee’s playing time increased, and he had a very successful year in all three sports.
As a ninth grader, Rylee swapped baseball for track. Football and basketball have always been his favorite, and he used track as a tool to get faster in both of these sports. In track, Rylee ran the 100 m and the 400 m.
In football, he rotates between wide receiver, quarterback, and occasionally a DB. In basketball, he has always played point guard, shooting guard or small forward.
Going into 10th grade, Rylee is only going to be doing football and basketball. This does include 7on7, summer ball for both and AAU for basketball.
