Shomari Pettigrew '23 Recruiting Profile

I have been living sports from I was conceived. I was told that while my mother was giving birth to me, the Red Sox was in a comeback in the World Series Final. I began playing sports at the age of four. I went on to play flag football at the age at six and has not missed a football season since then. I started running track at age five and have gone on to compete in several AAU events and AAU Junior Olympics, along with Disney Championships.  Over the years I have aspired to play football at the collegiate level with the hopes of being an NFL player. I know it's a long road, but with my hard work and dedication anything is possible.  

I have never missed a practice session, whether scheduled or last-minute notice.  I am always working and watching tapes to improve my skills, endurance, strength and speed. I am always encouraging my teammates and sharing my knowledge with them. I am a team player, and I am always readily available to play any position if the need arises. I am one of the most dedicated and hardest working recruits you'll find. I am also very explosive and once the ball is in my hand, it is destined for the end zone. 

I work very hard in the classroom and apply myself. I am unable to volunteer in the community as I babysit my baby brother and sister so that my parents can work. I also mentor and tutors my 10-year-old sister. 

My goal is to attend a college where I can focus on my education while being a beast on the field. I am open to all options and to eventually find the college that best fits my goals. My parents have been my biggest supporters and role models. I hope to become a great role model and mentor to my peers while making my parents proud for all the great work they have done with me over the years.
