Jacob "Jake" Shields '16 Recruiting Profile

Faith, family, and football are all three my utmost priorities in life. 365 days are the amount of days a year consists of, and not one day doesn't go by without me thinking of how I could become a better player and become better than what I was the day before. My passion for football is unending and I have devoted all of my time to become a better player on the field, in school, and during the offseason. My dieting is very strict throughout the week and even the weekends. I train everyday during the offseason by attending my high school football team's lifting session. In the weight room I strive to become much bigger and stronger to help my game on the field. On top of the daily lifting session, I then travel to a high-speed training facility called Action-X to improve my speed and agility. The program has some of the best equipment in the nation with high-speed tread mils to intense resistance bands. My ultimate dream ever since I was a little kid was to play college football and now I will do anything to pursue that dream and make it a reality. People doubt me with my smaller size and often say "I cant" but they don't understand that its not only a physical game, but a mental game filled with heart and will. My goal is to play in college football and I have devoted 100% of me into doing that. I have plenty of other goals I want to meet including size and speed, and I won't stop working everyday even after I have met those goals. I want to continue out my love for the sport at a higher level and make an impact on any team I play on.
