Griffin Baumoel '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Griffin Baumoel and my life long dream has been to play college football. Football is my entire life and I'll do anything I have to to continue playing for as long as possible. I've always been a hard worker and always will be. I find reasons to get in the weight room, I find ways to make myself better because at the end of the day no one hates losing more than I do. I believe I have the athleticism & ability to play D1 level football. I am currently 6'2 210 lbs playing as a Mike Linebacker with OLB & Safety experience as freshman/sophomore at the varsity level. I play the game as physical as I possibly can. I love to hit and use my horizontal speed to make plays across the field. I was the only Sophomore to start on our State Runner Up team that finished 14-1. When it comes to my academics I consider them just as important as football. I understand that one day I will never be able to play the game again and have to enter the real world and have a real job. My GPA has been getting better and I will continue to try and raise my grades. I know that without good grades I cannot make my dream come true and I simply won't let that happen. I am driven to do whatever I have to do and nothing will stop me from doing what I want to do.
