Personal Statement

My name is Aiden Arp.  I am 6’2”, 200 pound defensive lineman from Beavercreek, Ohio.  I am a 13 year old incoming freshman (class of 2029)  player for Beavercreek High School.  I am a home-school and CCP student with a 4.0 GPA.    

I am dedicated to improving my performance daily and am committed to excellence both on the field and in the classroom.  I am hard-working and coachable.  I show leadership and dedication to my team through my near perfect attendance to all voluntary work-out sessions with my team, as well as, my additional bi-weekly classes specializing in D-line skills and my three day a week speed and agility classes.  I believe that while you cannot control if you are the biggest, fastest, or strongest, you alone control if you are the hardest working player on a field.  Every time I step foot on the field, my goal is to be the player who put in the most work to prepare for that battle.  

I would like to play football at the collegiate level while pursuing a degree in business.  I prefer to attend a college that will allow me to compete at the highest level that I can be successful in while staying close to my family in Ohio, but am willing to consider all opportunities that allow me to further my football career and earn my college degree.
