Personal Statement

 

Tyler Pond 

Relentless. Coachable. Built for the trenches.

I’m a 16-year-old offensive lineman from Canada who thrives on physicality, discipline, and protecting my team. I play both guard and center, combining size, strength, and football IQ with a strong academic foundation. Maintaining a 3.9 GPA, I’m committed to excellence both on and off the field.

In 2025, after conversations with several American prep schools, I accepted a life-changing opportunity to move 1,300 miles from home to join the Mount Bethel Christian Academy Eagles Varsity team in Marietta, Georgia. This allows me to compete against elite U.S. talent, push my limits, and prepare for the next level of football.

I’m determined to earn a Division I offer in the United States and will do whatever it takes—training harder, studying smarter, and playing with unmatched intensity—to reach that goal. My mission is to be a dominant force in the trenches and a leader my team can count on in every situation.
