Personal Statement

I started playing football when I was just five years old.  I love the game now just as much as I did way back then. From an early age, I always wanted to just play. I come from a small school in South Georgia where as a freshman, I would snap the ball and block on offense then turn around and play tackle or defensive end on defense. I hardly ever come off the field.  I feel I grew the most as a student-athlete my sophomore year when I transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. The experience of moving over 300 miles away from home and living on campus helped me grow as a person and has transformed me into becoming a more solid offensive lineman capable of playing at the college level.

I am very fortunate to be part of such an amazing program. I believe that going to school here at IMG has most definitely prepared me to play at the next level.  I am looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but the character, work-ethic, and leadership skills to make an immediate impact on your program. I know that I have what it takes to be a leader on your team.
