Personal Statement

Dear NCSA community,

I am excited to introduce myself as a 2026 dual-threat quarterback with a relentless work ethic and a deep passion for the game of football. I have been playing football since a young age, and it has become a central part of who I am as a person.

But being a great quarterback is about more than just physical abilities. It's also about being a leader, both on and off the field. I understand that as the quarterback, I am the leader of the team, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am always looking for ways to improve myself and my teammates, both on and off the field.

One of the things that sets me apart from other players is my work ethic. I believe that success in football, and in life, comes from hard work and dedication. I am always willing to put in the extra time and effort to improve my skills and help my team succeed.

Finally, I want to emphasize how much I love the game of football. There is nothing like the feeling of being on the field, working together with my teammates to achieve a common goal. Football has taught me valuable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, and I look forward to working with coaches and teammates who share my passion and dedication to the game of football. Thank you for considering me for your team.

Sincerely,

Christian Heywood
