Personal Statement

Hello Coaches,   

I have played football since i was 5 years old. I am extremely focused, I have 3.9 - 4.0 GPA (all honors/AP coursework) and am a leader on the field. I have a positive frame of mind and I push that positivity to my teammates. I am also very humble and i treat everyone with respect.  And I don't buy into the hype (when people throw it at me).  I know I can always get better.  I am NEVER satisfied with my performance. 

 I have had great success as a Quarterback having won 4 youth championships, the 2021 Legacy 7v7 state championship (36 TD passes and zero interceptions) and the 2021 "Rocky Top" tackle football tournament (played against teams from multiple states).  In addition, I was proud and honored to win the 2021 Legacy “QB Selection Showcase” First place - class of 2025. 160 quarterbacks from multiple states attended this event.

My high school (Anchor Bay, MI) has not had much success, but I believe that is about to change. We have a great coach, and I am poised to be the starting QB from here on out (I was the starting JV QB in 2022). Anchor Bay will put our league on notice!  I can't wait for next season, and I've already recruited many of my teammates (including the seniors) to work w/ me in the off season. Our success starts now...

Academics:  

Football won't last forever.  I am very focused on my education.  I plan to attend a university with a solid engineering or aerospace program.  I wish to pursue an electrical engineering or aerospace engineering degree, and then a Master's in Business Administration so that I can run my own engineering department or company. 

Lastly:  I am loyal!  I am not looking to join a championship team... I want to help make one.  If I lose out on the starting position, I will not look to the transfer portal to bail me out.  I will work to get better, period! 

The school that believes/invests in me will NOT be disappointed...
