Personal Statement

    I have been playing football since I was eight years old. Since I first stepped onto the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my life.

    Coming from a military family, I understand the importance of discipline and sacrifice. These traits have allowed me to become a better teammate and team captain, all of which I use to lead by example and encourage my teammates to do their best.

    I am always working to improve my skills and train to get bigger, faster and stronger. I am very coachable. I will be one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find. I have been blessed to start on both the varsity offensive and defensive line since my sophomore year in high school. In my junior year, I earned 1st Team all-region honors for both the offensive and defensive line. So far in my Senior year, I earned Region Player of the Year honors. My work ethic, endurance, speed, physical and mental strength, determination and desire to win enabled me to earn my schools “Iron Man” award.

    I have been a multi-sport athlete (Football, Wrestling, Track and Field) since my freshman year. In my junior year, I earned all-region honors for Track and Field-Throws. In wrestling, I earned the title of “City Champion” for the 220 pound weight class. 

    In the classroom, I study hard to maintain my GPA. I am dual enrolled at Arizona Western College while I continue to attend high school. Additionally, I have volunteered at a local elderly care center and a child/youth center. 

    I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the football field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
