Cole Slepecki '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing football since I have been seven years old. Football is not just a game to me; it's a way of life that has shaped my character in many ways. Playing alongside teammates whom I consider family, I've learned that success isn't about the individual, but about the unity and support from the team that motivates others to achieve their best.  Football has taught me invaluable lessons in discipline, positivity and heart.  Qualities that will extend far beyond the field. It has taught me the importance of leadership and maintaining a calm, focused mindset, especially in challenging or stressful situations. As a quarterback, it is important manage pressure,  keep calm and composed and focused on the end goal. These skills I've have learned through football, are applicable to every aspect of my life. Football isn't about scoring the most touchdowns; it's about resilience, unity, and playing for each other. 

I am looking forward to continuing to play football at the next level.
