Personal Statement

I have been playing football since I was seven years old. Since I first stepped on 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 whole life.  I make decisions in my life that I believe that will keep me on that path. 

My family is a football family.  We love the game.  My father, uncle, and my younger brothers also play.  I was chosen to a middle school All-American team.  I was able to train, practice, and play with players from all over the country from Hawaii to New Jersey. That experience fired my competitiveness and confirmed that playing with guys like this was what I wanted to do.

I consistently work to improve my skills as well as training to get bigger, faster and stronger. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. 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.
