Personal Statement

My name is KeShan Allen. I am an athlete for South Philadelphia High School. I attend Parkway Center City Middle College where I take college classes at the local community college. When I graduate high school I will not only graduate with a high school diploma but also a college Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts. So far39 college credits and have received a 4.0 GPA during my previous semester in Spring of 2020.

Since I was 7 years old, it has been my dream to play college football and to have the opportunity to play in the NFL. In 8th grade my youth team and I went to Florida for the Pop Warner Super Bowl where we made it to the National Championship game but lost. This experience made me even more motivated to want to succeed in this sport. I am a hard-working and determined student athlete in the classroom and on the field. I am a football player, and I will play any position that you will need me to play in order to help the program succeed. Last season in my junior year I led my team in interceptions and forced fumbles. I played cornerback, strong safety, and linebacker. I expect big things for my senior season such as breaking records and help leading my team to our first Championship since 1999. 

I have been dreaming of playing college football since I was playing in my youth days and would love to find the best school that is best for me to attend for both academics and athletics. Despite my size, I have an excellent work ethic and is determined to improve my games the best way I can. I want to help bring winning seasons and championships to this program. I have always been heavy on academics so grades will not have to be a problem for me and taking care of my school work. I have never had any problems with the law or any illegal altercations in my life and always stays out of trouble.
