Jackson Buelow, SS/OF, Highland Park, Class of 2015 

PBR: What schools have expressed interest in you? 
BUELOW: There are several schools that have expressed interest in me on different levels.  UW- Stout, UW- Concordia, Augsburg, Hamline, Saint Mary’s, Upper Iowa University. Luther College, Century College and Rochester Technical College.  I have not made any commitments at this time.

PBR: Have you taken any visits, or have any visits scheduled in the near future? 
BUELOW: I have visited 9 schools so far and I am looking forward to seeing a few more in the next month.

PBR: Are you looking for anything in particular in a school? (Example: high academics, certain academic program, local, etc.) 
BUELOW: Location of the school does not matter.  I am looking at business management at this point so I feel like I can fit almost anywhere.  As far as baseball, I'm not focused in on a big school or small school in particular.  I am looking for the school which will allow me to make the most significant and quickest contributions to their team. 

PBR: What were some of your highlights during your junior year? 
BUELOW: I'm becoming a more skilled and mature player each year.  In my junior year I was fortunate to play baseball all year round for the first time.  It was such a great opportunity to get on the field from November through March.  By time my high school season started, I was inserted into the starting line-up and played almost full-time despite the high number of seniors on the team.  I batted third in the line-up all summer for my legion team and delivered at the plate on a regular basis. 

PBR: What are your goals for this year? 
BUELOW: I will once again play during the winter this year which will allow me to further develop as a player and jump right into the high school baseball season ready to go next spring.  I have been named as one of the captains which is a great honor.  I will be a leader on and off the field and hope to help my team make a deep run in the playoffs.

PBR: Do you play any other sports? 
BUELOW: Yes. I also play high school hockey and am the captain of the team this year.  We lost 8 seniors last year and have 11 new players joining the team this year.  It should be very exciting to see what we can do.

PBR: What is your ACT and GPA? 
BUELOW: My ACT is 22 and my weighted GPA is 3.0.
