Tyler Klusman '24 Recruiting Profile

The feeling you get when you make a big play in front of so many fans is exhilarating.  Getting the chance to celebrate with my teammates and the brotherhood that carries with me are big reasons why I love playing the sport. Football has always been my favorite sport. I would stay up past my bedtime watching playoff games. Football has taught me leadership, it's shown me that I can work hard, and if I have a goal I can reach it. It's been my lifelong dream to play in the NFL.

Ever since I was young I was always doing something active, for example, karate and scouting. I've done both for 12 years and the impact they had on my life is tremendous. Karate has helped me become who I am today. Karate gave me the motivation to do well in school - getting a 3.0 GPA or higher in high school, and I hope to improve to a 3.5 GPA in college. I will earn my Eagle Scout rank this summer and it has taught me leadership and perseverance and how to be a part of a team off the field.
