Akram Pacheco-lopez '18 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goal is to play football at the next level. I've began to like football when I was in 8th grade, I never played until my sophomore year where I said "that's enough." From there on my work ethic expanded and so did my playing time. I outworked everyone in my rotation, now I'm starting and they're trying to outwork me. I also do three sports such as Wrestling and Swim, but my background is football and it has always been underdogs, I would always have to grind for even the littlest things like a bathroom break. I make a good candidate because I take a big leadership role on and off the field including my regular community service at the rescue mission like volunteering in 5K runs, and serving meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas to the homeless. My teammates depend on me to do my job and so do my parents. I'm a far more different athlete than other recruits because,  my dedication to the game can't be explained, I train like a D1 School when our team is only a D3 school, & I would get angry at my self for missing even 1 day of practice. Off the field I stay as much concentrated on my academics so that I can be the best that I can be.
