Personal Statement

Denim Hunt

I have been playing football and running track since I was 7 years old. Since I first stepped on a football field, I have aspired to play at the collegiate level. I know that playing in college is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change my life.

I have strong ball handling skills, speed, and a high football IQ. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and assist my coach with leading practices and coaching other teammates to success. I strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

I work hard year-round on my football skills learning plays, participating in 7 on 7, working with a personal trainer, lifting in the weight room, getting my body properly stretched, and running AAU/USATF track, which all contributes to my athleticism.  In the 2021-2022 track season, I was winner up in the 400 meter-dash, 3rd place in the 400x200 meter, as the only 8th grader on my high school team, I was the track team MVP. In the 2022-2023 track season, I was state champ in 400 meter-dash, state champ in 4x400 meter relay and winner up in 4x200 meter relay. I helped lead Southern Lab to a State Championship in 2023-2024 football season. I made 1st team Allstate in football. In 2023-2024, track season, I was state champ in the 400 meter-dash, 3rd in the 200 meter-dash. 

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I am an honor student, that currently participates in 100 Black Men of Metro Baton Rouge ACT Prep classes.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and on the field. I am open to all opportunities and would like to find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to my peers, in my community and make my family proud.
