Personal Statement

Hello Coaches and Recruiters,

My name is Gabriel Miles Smith; I have watched the NFL with my Dad and Family my whole life. But it was not until I began my youth football career in the 7th grade as a member of the Taconic Football League that I learned to love the game.  

My goal then and now is to be at my very best! both on the field and off.  My desire to win on each play is only matched by my wish to do so with my team mates. When I’m on the field I have one plan in mind, execute my job! get to the ball! and make something happen.    

I’m currently entering into my Junior year at IMG Academy, where I will graduate in the Spring of 2021. I’m presently carry a 3.7 GPA, and have been nominated by several of my teacher for entry into the National Honors Society.  

I consider myself to be a leader and not a follower, I like helping my fellow classmates in both Science and Math. I plan to someday become an Engineer, if the NFL does not come looking for me first.  

My parents have always taught me to respect those around me, and to be an active member of whatever community I’m in. My Dad has always told me that “we are the sum total of our life experiences, to learn from our mistakes and teaches others from our success”. As I have developed as a player and as a student athlete, I realize everyday how true this is.

As a trailblazer I hope to be part of a team and school that will encourage unity and recognize those players who put in the work every day. I’m looking for a football program that will continue develop my skills, that will push me to get bigger, stronger, faster. But above all else will offer me a chance to obtain a world class education and higher learning experience that I will carry with me throughout my life.

Couches I look forward to hearing from you and wish you a successful 2019 season.

Thank you in advance for reading my profile.
