Personal Statement

I have been playing football for ten years and ever since I started I’ve aspired to play at the collegiate level.  Throughout my youth and high school career I’ve always started on both sides of the ball which has allowed me to develop as a player further than most.  I have a strong work ethic, am very competitive and a leader by example.  I encourage my teammates and strive to be the best teammate I can be.  My priority is team performance before my own and I play at an intense level.  I believe my toughness and skill come from my many years of wrestling.  Wrestling has taught me that I can always persevere through tough times and to hold myself to a high standard, both on and off the field.  Academics have always been a priority and I look forward to continuing my education.  My goals in college are to excel in the classroom and on the field, as well as find a passion for my future career.
