Personal Statement

My name is Xavier Allen. I am a Junior (C/O 2026) student-athlete, currently playing football for Carson High School in Carson, California. My intentions are always to pursue my academics and athletics with determination. I believe hard work beats talent when talent isn't working hard, and it all starts with effort. Playing sports keeps me grounded and disciplined and most importantly I enjoy playing and being a team player. 

I want to reach my fullest potential and know hard work, effort, and opportunity will get me there.  My interests and ambitions academically are in engineering and physical therapy.  Athletically, I aspire to play football in college and be the best defensive player I can be and be a contributing team player. My goal is to attend a college where I can continue to grow and succeed academically and athletically to prepare me for "life". Please read below for more information about my academic and athletic background.

• I consistently maintain a 4.0 GPA  and am on the highest honor roll.
• I am a student leader for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Student Leader for School Site Council, and current Treasurer of Carson High School Leadership.
