Personal Statement

I began playing organized football at the age of ten.  Back then, I was always able to use my speed to get to the edge and score.  As I got older, I have improved on this skill, as well as learned others.  I have learned to read the defense and recognize holes, as well as, using my strength to create one when there isn't one. Being a run threat isn't enough in today's game.  You have to be able to run routes out of the back field as well or line up at slot.  I trained and worked on my hands and route running in order to be effective in both the run and pass game.  Apart from football, my extracurriculars consist of mostly school and track.  When I'm not at school, I'm either with my friends and family. I look forward to the opportunity of working hard and building upon my strengths.
