Personal Statement

My name is Tyson Reinke and I am currently a senior at Eden Prairie High School in Eden Prairie, MN. I am 6’3” and 267lbs. Pre-season testing resulted in a 27” Vertical, 515lb Dead-lift, 265lb power clean and a 4.95 second 40 yard sprint; all attributes I am working to improve on a daily basis. This past fall I was a starting player on the Class 5A State Championship Football team, primarily playing on the Defensive Line but was also active as both a Fullback and Offensive Guard. At the conclusion of the season I was selected to the 2011 Minnesota All-State Team, All-Conference 1st Team, and All-Metro Team. Previous to this, as a sophomore, I started on the varsity defensive line and was also only the second freshmen in Eden Prairie High School history to play Varsity Football. I have also been a member of the Varsity Track and Field squad since my freshman year, competing in discus and shot-put.

  Academically, I maintain a 3.16 GPA and am interested in pursuing a business degree in college. I take great pride in selecting classes that challenge me as well as ones that I feel best prepare me for my college future. I have aspirations to be part of a large, competitive organization that would present me with the greatest opportunity to excel as a student as well as a member of the football team. Collegiate football has always been a dream of mine and I would love to be a member of a team with the same common goal as I have, to be the best. I am an extremely hard worker who plays to the whistle and follows directions well. I am constantly striving to improve my technique, athleticism and overall game. I am a team player that’s willing to do whatever it takes to be successful on and off the field.
