Personal Statement

As a student athlete, I understand the importance of not only showing up giving 100% on the field, but doing so likewise in and out of the classroom.  I believe that ideal candidates for any collegiate team should bring more than simply skillset and talent to their program, and should additionally make an impact around the university and within the community.  In addition to training, traveling for camps, and improving my game, I make time to give back to my community through volunteering and community service.  It's important to me that I not only represent myself daily in a positive manner, but remain cognizant at all times that I'm representing my family, school and community as well.  Therefore, my collegiate goals and aspirations involve all of these aspects in their totality, and is what I believe makes me a great candidate for any team.  What sets me apart is my ability to see the bigger picture, whether that's being a force on the field, or supporting and rallying my teammates on the side.  It's about building TRUST.  That is what great football programs are built on!  "Trust", "Responsibility", "Unity", "Sacrifice", and "Team", and it's through these characteristics that I am defined.
