2018 Senior Year ...2017 Junior Year2016 Highlights Personal Statement
Right as time expired on our last game of our undefeated sophomore season, I knew that i had a lot of work to do. I knew that i had to go and work until the start of next season. I wanted to make sure that I would be the best at my position on the field. This mindset all started my freshman year of high school. I got this mindset from my parents who have been with me every step of the way, making me a stronger and more reliable young man. Ever since I started playing football, I have learned that I am a fighter who goes all out every single play no matter what. When it comes to academics I have a high bar set for me, I strive for a 4.0 and hope to do keep up good grades in college. When i first started playing I had to face a huge obstacle, while everybody knew what they were doing, I was still learning. I worked all summer and found myself playing on offense and defense during my freshman and sophomore seasons. I would also say that I am a good team player who listens to directions and no matter the situation, I will do whatever I have to.
