Personal Statement

Who do you want to be? That was the question I have been asked since I was three feet off the ground. Hello, my name is Caeleb, aka Smiles. My youth coach gave me this nickname when I was getting lectured for messing up a drill. All I could do was smile, because I found a flame in me that started to grow. I liked the fact I could use my full body and my mind to accomplish a goal. They are tools that I govern and use to defeat an opponent across from me in the best way possible. Football! Now, my goal is to grow in God and play professional football. I have loved being a defensive linemenen my whole life, but if you teach me, I can play anywhere. I am hard wired to do my best at everything I strive for. I will mess up but I will also never quit until I get it right. Failure is not an option for me, on or off the field. School is a different field I navigate. I maintain honor roll or above in advance or college prep classes. I know I am not perfect,  but I will make sure you will get 110% out of me at all times because I demand perfection from myself. I hope you have learned a small piece of me and that at I might be what you are looking for.
