Personal Statement

As the son of an Air Force Officer, I have had to adapt to new academic and athletic environments every few years. When we moved to Prattville, Alabama from Okinawa, Japan two years ago, I was nervous how I would fit in with a large Junior High School. After competing in summer practices with a good attitude, size and abilities, leadership, character, and work ethic, I became the number one Wide Receiver for my 7th and 8th Grade teams. I am never satisfied, and my stated goal is to compete and excel on Prattville High School's varsity team (7A) next year as a Freshman. To achieve this goal, I have committed to 4x per week speed, strength, and conditioning workouts at "Parisi Speed School of the River Region." Additionally, the varsity coaches have invited me to varsity practices and private varsity Wide Receiver sessions. I am looking forward to official spring practices to begin in April, culminating with the spring game on May 19th!

I am interested in playing football at the college level and desire a program that will be a good fit for me athletically and academically. I believe I have the right attitude, size and abilities, leadership, character, and work ethic to make an impact on your program. Thank you for your consideration!
