Personal Statement

Solid, elite level 4A level player that practices with the top 4A teams (several top 20) in the state to level up their game play.  Easily top linebacker in NC and SC.  Practices and works out every week against top players that are heavily recruited by top D1 colleges.  Big strong athlete that loves playing linebacker.  Top elite level linebacker that has previously played D-Line, so it takes 2-3 or more elite players to block him.  He shuts down the middle against the best players and the toughest teams in NC and SC.  Hits hard and is not afraid of the biggest and strongest O-line players when playing linebacker. His size and frame right now puts him at elite D1 for line backer and a very strong, solid, high level tight end and/or defensive end in D1.  He has professional coaches (previous NFL top 20 linebacker - Antico Dalton of the Vikings and Patriots).  His work out ethic is in a whole other league.  3+ hours of practice and workouts after practice every day. Top grades and he does weightlifting with the football team followed by track team workout then comes home and lifts weights, works out and runs 40+ sprints up a long hill each night.  Think 16 year old with Herschel Walkers drive and determination with Lawrence Taylor's frame and size.  This kid is going places.  His potential is enormous. 4.91 second 40 time at Ryzer Combines on March 19th on a rainy stormy day.  Dream D1 linebacker candidate.  Will easily be one of the most heavily recruited players in high school history this fall - already has every top 4A high school football coach talking about him and wishing he could be on their team - many have tried recruiting him already. There's a reason for that. He will be the big factor in the state playoffs this year.  He completely shuts down the middle regardless of the team and how many 2,3,4 or even 5 star players they have.  He already completely shutdown the most loaded team in NC (Providence Day #17 in NC) with the #1 quarterback in the nation.  No plays in the middle worked with Trent in there as MLB - none.
