Personal Statement

From the moment I first gripped a football at seven years old, my left hand felt like it was meant for the game. That unique perspective, that mirrored view of the field, has shaped my entire approach to quarterbacking. Since then, I've harbored a singular aspiration: to play at the collegiate level, and, if blessed, beyond. I understand that college football offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to not only refine my skills but to shape my future.

I'm constantly pushing myself to improve, both physically and mentally. Hours are spent honing my throwing mechanics, studying film, and in the weight room, striving to become bigger, faster, and stronger. As a left-handed quarterback, I've had to adapt and innovate, developing a unique understanding of angles and play dynamics. I pride myself on being a team leader, not just through vocal encouragement, but by setting a consistent example of dedication and hard work. I'm highly coachable, eager to absorb new strategies and techniques, and I strive to be one of the most dedicated players and recruits you'll encounter.

My commitment extends beyond the football field. In the classroom, I maintain a solid GPA, understanding the importance of academic excellence. I also believe in giving back to my community, volunteering and being an active member of local youth programs. These experiences have instilled in me the values of leadership, responsibility, and service.

I'm seeking a college where I can challenge myself both academically and athletically. I'm open to exploring all opportunities, ultimately aiming to find the perfect fit at the highest level of competition possible. I aspire to be a positive role model for my peers and, above all, to make my family proud. My left-handed perspective, combined with my unwavering dedication, makes me a unique and driven candidate for your program

The throw data was captured by Wilson Sporting Goods. Metrics were collected through a variety of drills during the Wilson QBX combines where players threw footballs using Wilson QBX tracking technology embedded in each ball.
