Personal Statement

I am a passtionate 6'3", 195 pound impactful player who strives for excellence both on and off the field.  I am Nationally Ranked #3 with Kornblue Kicking and #28 with Kohls Kicking organization. I am a 4.5 Star Punter, a 4.0 Star Kicker. I am a team player who is very coachable and looks forward to finding a team where my talents and passion can add strength and depth. I have competed in several Kohls Kicking Showcases, having won the 2016 Midwest Showcase Punting competetion, have attended several camps, and received one-on-one training. I have also attended a few Kornblue Kicking camps. I look forward to attending future in-season camps.

I have had the privlege of playing multiple sports for my entire life and have remained a 4-sport Varsity athlete in a 3-sport season. From my first kickoff three years ago to my 38 yard field goal on Detroit Ford Field’s NFL posts during our Prep Bowl, to finishing my Junior year football season with a 44 yard field goal in 25 mph winds into my face in a wet, rainy district final; football has become my passion. I knew running off the field at our district finals, that I wanted to pursue playing football at the collegiate level.I strive to be the best person I can be on the field, court, or course, as well as in the classroom and in my community.  

Although being a multi-sport athlete is a major accomplishment, my main focus is academics. I attend a private, International-Baccalaureate, rigorous school taking Honors classes along with standard level courses. I strive to balance my life academically,  athletically,  while consistently conducting over 200 hours of community service every year,  working as an Honor Caddie at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and am a member of our school’s Varsity, SADD, and Optimist clubs.

Attending a university where my talents and passions are beneficial to the school and on the field, is my ultimate goal. The academically challenging environment of Notre Dame Preparatory has solidified the importance of obtaining a quality education. Through this smaller, family-feeling environment, I am accustomed to a low teacher-student ratio in school. However, I am excited and open-minded to obtain my degree from any size university.  I wish to study History with my ultimate goal of pursuing a teaching degree where I can give back to a community, while performing at my highest abilities academically and athletically.

As I have begun my Senior year, I am continuing to train hard, train smart, and train focused both athletically and academically by taking several higher level classes. I will remain active in my community. I am excited to bring my determination, hard work and talents to the collegiate level as I look toward the future.
