Jacob Oostindie '14 Recruiting Profile

Football has changed me as a person over the past years of playing; I really found the true meaning of hard work, dedication, and family. This year I was privileged to become the captain on the Varsity Team; as well winning best lineman, and being awarded North Shore All Star for my playing. I trained and condition throughout the entire off season with GameReady Fitness, where I was mentored by current CFL athletes who taught me the value of preparation. With my natural 6' 5" height, long arms and large hands which really help my game. 

As a well rounded person, I have many areas of interest. Besides my academics they are soccer, skiing, mountain biking, golfing, boating, and fishing. I continue volunteer work through my church and my football team. I coach 12/13 year olds in a flag football league We enjoyed an excellent season, going undefeated until the final playoff game and I will be coaching again this spring. In addition, I also help out with the Junior Varsity team.

Overall, my dream is to take my football ability and go to the next level with the skills I posses. I also seek to be an excellent student at an excellent school known to have a football program. My education and athletic work will carry me into the next stage of my life.
