Personal Statement

Faith, family, and football have always been the foundation that molded me into the person I am today. I have always maintained a high GPA while participating in an array of different sports, at a highly competitive level. This has not only taught me time management skills but introduced me to many different coaching styles and players. My passion and desire is to play football at a high level while securing a college degree for my future.

As a sophomore, I played my second year of Varsity football. My hard work earned me the returning starting position as running back/slot.  In the off-season I continue to work on conditioning and weightlifting. I attend camps,  combines and play 7 v 7 with a travel club. During the spring, I run track and concentrate on my footwork. Academically, I was inducted into the National Beta Club at the end of the school year, as a result of my 4.5 GPA. I was also invited to be on the Student Advisory Board, which raises issues and solves problems along with the school faculty. This year I am a member of the Student Government, as the Sophomore Class President.

Also, I have always strived to be a leader on the field by displaying good sportsmanship. My confidence allows me to learn from constructive criticism. I make a point to congratulate others on their success and lift teammates as needed. I am the player who always has his hand out helping another player up, whether on my team or the opposing team. I have been told by many coaches I am extremely coachable, respectful, and personable.

My priorities are simple. I strive to be the best Christian, son, student and athlete I can possibly be. I feel I have a great deal to offer and would be an asset to the university that fits my academic and athletic desires. Through my devotion to our God, I have faith that I will achieve my goal to play football at the highest colligate level.
