Caiden Smith '23 Recruiting Profile

My goals in college are to be great, strive to take care of business and become a part of a sports family and brotherhood, and be successful all around. I believe what makes me a good candidate for the team is that I am an independently self-driven go-getter, I'm willing to grind and put forth the effort to be the best I can be and the best version of myself.  Football for me isn't about the money or the girls or the fame, for me, it's the air that I breathe, my daily challenge to get up and be better than yesterday and have the power to build my own world full of positivity and give back to the community that provided for me and my loved ones.  The adrenaline rush, The hard work, the sweat, The tears, that rumble you get in the pit of your stomach..... that feeling is what I look forward to each day, DRIVE and being a GOAL CRUSHER!  The thing that makes me different from other recruits is that I'm not trying to fit in and be the "cool" guy, I am who I am and that's all I will ever be. Being myself is the coolest kid on the planet and the best version of me and willing to push others to become the best version of themselves and be there for them. With football comes family and brotherhood and I'm all about family. You got my back? I got your back. When it comes to the character I have a big heart, on and off the field. I believe I can touch and inspire the world beyond Football and Spread love and positivity and encourage others. I'm willing to put blood sweat and tears into this team and sport, community. Football is more than a game, It's a way of life and teaches discipline, strength, teamwork, perseverance. In athletics, I am willing to put the work in to take care of my body and become stronger, build a good physique, be more flexible, And Have the ability To make and carry out plays. I'm willing to persevere and get the job done, with No excuses. With academics I am no Einstein, I am not a straight-A student But I will put the same effort I put in on the field in the classrooms. I am willing to Put forth the effort to be successful and be great.
