2024 Highlights2023 Highlights2022 HighlightsEarly season high...Sophomore season ...Personal Statement
Hello Coaches,
My name is Joshua De La Cruz Jr and I am a linebacker and running back for Folsom High School, Sacramento, CA.
I aspire to play football in college and major in Engineering while in college. One thing that sets me ahead of my peers is the “hard work”. "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra."
On the field, I am a leader who strives to inspire and elevate my teammates. Off the field, I work on strength and conditioning everyday at 6 am to help build good habits and clear my head before school. After football practice, I focus on speed training 3x’s a week. I also challenge myself academically with technical classes, and I would like to major in Engineering when I do attend college.
-Defensive player of the year, 22/23
-#1 Sophomore for tackles in the Central Valley Area, 22/23
I am excited about my Junior year and will send out new Hudle link as soon as it is available! First game is August 18th, 2023! Let's GO!
