Personal Statement

     My name is Elijah Whitaker and I am a hardworking football player that give maximum effort at all times. I attend Spalding High school where our team went 12 - 1 last year. I’ve started as a Cornerback for the past 3 years even though I’m classified as an Athlete. I’m 6’1 and weigh 173lbs. I am very long and shifty. I can play any position(s) in the secondary. I’m presently a rising Senior. I was chosen 2 years in a row as 1st Team Defense. We were the 2023 Region Champs last year. Attached are my highlights from last year games. Also, I have a 3.3 gpa average and I’m on track with NCAA core curriculum guidelines. 

My parents are my role models. My father was my coach since my youth and he have trained me very well. Nothing was every given. It had to be earned in order to appreciate and value it.

I have already received two scholarships from “Semo” and “East Carolina university”.

     I'm very excited about my next level football journey and hope to meet your football staff and attend the college campus, receive college invites, attend Junior Day and possibly receive a football offer. I’m looking forward to meeting with you and your staff very soon!

Thank you,

Elijah Whitaker
