Derius Franklin '21 Recruiting Profile

The dream to want to play football in college and in the leagues all started my freshman year. It was my first year, and I didn’t know a lot of what I was doing cause I’ve never played football before. My coach told me that I could fit as a lineman for my speed and size, so he lined me up let me do some pass pro, and Oklahoma drills, and I fell in love with this sport. 

Over past couple of years from playing football so far, I’ve learned about discipline, teamwork, motivation, and effort. These things have been teaching how to be a good athlete on the field, and also in the classroom. My academics are maintained well, and come first with me having a 3.6 GPA and A-B honor roll at the moment. 

Football has taught me a lot playing and still does, whether it’s playing on the O-Line, or just standing on the sideline pushing others to play hard. I love to put in hard work, be a leader, and expect good results to come out of it, and if your looking for a player that will take the position of an athlete like this, welcome to my profile.
