Personal Statement

Prospective coaches, my name is Eric Kirkpatrick. My passion for football began when I was 6 years old and I put on my football pads for the first time. I played 6 years of pee-wee football and during those years I learned the values of sportsmanship and hard work.

I am a hard working, dedicated team player that will always work as hard as I can in the trenches to do my part to help my team succeed. My goal is to continue to grow my skills and abilities to further my football playing experience to college where I will have an opportunity to not only give it my all on the field but most importantly, in the classroom.

Thank you for your consideration

Eric Michael Kirkpatrick

Junior Day Football
6/21/22 to 6/21/22
The Junior Day Football Showcase is designed for high school football players that want to work directly with college coaches in an on-field environment. The event is for those players who are focused on becoming college football student-athletes or want to learn more about that process. The camp will feature quality instruction from college coaches, verbal evaluations provided by the coaching staff through drills & instruction, and a Seminar on the Recruiting Process and College Experience for both players and parents. Objective statistics will also be provided verbally during the event (40 yard dash, broad jump, etc). As a courtesy, those numbers will also be provided after the event through a Report Card that will be emailed to each participant. The Junior Day Football Showcase is open to all high school football players and is restricted in enrollment. The player-to-coach ratio will not exceed 8:1. These camps are in compliance with all NCAA, NAIA, and Junior College recruiting and camp rules.
