About Joaquin

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a fast, aggressive style while staying disciplined and composed. I like to apply pressure, play with intensity, and make quick decisions that create opportunities for my team.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m focused, composed, and easygoing off the field, but when it’s game time, I lock in and compete with intensity. I stay confident under pressure and always look to contribute positively to the team.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Community Service 2024 through Great Work Montessori Program helping elderly people by offering free yard work service. I also volunteered to work on “No Bull Noble Farms”. High Honor Roll 9th grade 2026 - Q1-4 High Honor Roll 8th grade 2025 - Q1-4 Homeschooled from 4th-7th grade. Scored at 7th and 8th grade level in 5th grade on Iowa Standard test. High Honor Roll from K-3rd grade

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

As a freshman, I was selected as captain of my freshman basketball team. That role helped me develop leadership, accountability, and teamwork by setting a positive example, encouraging my teammates, and leading through my work ethic and attitude.

What type of college are you looking for?

Ideally, I’m looking for a Division I or Division II college that can offer athletic and academic opportunities, including scholarships. I’m open to moving out of New York and want to be part of a program where I can continue to develop my skills, compete at a high level, and have access to strong facilities and coaching that will help me grow as an athlete and person.

Cruz III was one of the younger prospects in attendance, and the 2029 prospect showed a quick burst with a top 15 Pro Shuttle time, and made a good first impression in Warwick.

Cruz III showed strong hands throughout the afternoon in Warwick, and had some really impressive reps throughout the day. I liked his physicality, and at the POA, came down with the ball. He was solid off the line, and should look to improve his footwork, and separation at the top of his routes. He is a solid playmaker who has a bright future at WR.
