Eugene Foster '18 Recruiting Profile

My main goal is to play college football at the University of Florida and major in Engineering.  I have played football since the age of eight with a Pop Warner league.  It's been a major part of my life ever since and I am deeply passionate about it.  I've had great coaches throughout my childhood.   They instilled the importance of teamwork,  hardwork, dedication, accountibility, leadership, attitude, and humility.  I feel that I would make a good candidate for a team because I take the initiative to be better.  I ask questions.  I study the best running backs.  I constantly try to improve my skills by watching films, videos, and tutorials on how to master different techniques.  I run track to improve my speed and endurance each year.  I lift weights to gain strength.  I consistently and frequently attend many football camps to become more skillful.  Most importantly, I practice, run drills, and always try and execute what I've learned.  I listen to my coaches and ask for feedback on my performance.  I strive to be the best.  

My schedule is pretty tough but I feel I've been balancing it pretty well.  I have all honors classes with the exception of my dual enrollment course.  I get up early for film or practice.  Afterschool, I have practice every day and I usually get home around 7:30 or 8:00 p.m.  and start immediately on my homework.  On the weekends, I attend football camps, train with my track coach, or run drills.  My parents have always instilled the importance of a good education.  It's important to me that I maintain a high GPA.  Playing for the NFL would definitely be living the dream but I also have to make sure that becoming a successful engineer is apart of that plan.

I feel my drive and my determination makes me different than other candidates.  I have so much heart and I will never give up on myself.  I will always be willing to put in the work to become greater.  I have set high expectations for myself and I know what I can do when I put my mind to it.  I will never stop striving to be the best.
