Personal Statement

My name is Elijah Knowles and I am high school senior. I am looking to continue playing football on a college level. I am versatile offensive lineman who is the starting right guard at St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City, NJ. Football has taught me valuable life skills both on and off the field about team work, discipline, leadership and perseverance. In the off season, I’ve work with trainers and coaches and work out in the weight room. I understand football requires year round dedication to getting better. In the classroom, my strongest subject is math. I would like to continue my love of football and math in college to pursue a career in sports analytics or sports media.
