Personal Statement

I have been playing football since I was eight years old. Since I first stepped on the field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level and beyond. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my whole life.

I am always working to improve my skills as well as training to get bigger, faster and stronger. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I have been made my teams defensive captain for multiple years and I strive to make myself, as well as everyone else around me, their best.  I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I also won an election to become my class representative. I am taking early college courses in high school and will continue to seek out academic challenges and leadership positions. I feel that academics and how I conduct myself is just as important as being a good football player.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the football field. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
