Gerald McQuade '13 Recruiting Profile

I am a lineman (Defensive and Offensive), and currently play for North Cobb High School in Kennesaw, Ga.  I am enrolled in the North Cobb Magnet program for International Studies and am on track to graduate with the Magnet Seal.  I have taken and passed two AP classes (World History and Statistics). I am currently taking three AP classes my Senior year. I play three sports (Football, Lacrosse, and Swimming) and am one of only four student-athletes to earn a Tri-Sport Varsity Letter last year. I am always "In Season". I have not only lettered in each sport, but have received Scholar Athlete awards, as well as, Coaches Awards in Football and Lacrosse. I am considered a leader on the field, in the classroom, and at home (oldest of six children) because of my commitment and work ethic. I believe firmly in what my head Football coach (Shane Queen) believes which is, there is NO OFF-SEASON.  I put my heart and soul into everything I do and give 100 percent in all I attempt.  There is no reason or excuse to EVER become complacent.  I feel as though I will be a great asset to your program because I have a stubborn mentality when it comes to achieving success.  I DO NOT accept defeat.   Outside of the classroom and off the field, I have earned the rank of Eagle Scout this year. I have been elected by my peers as our Unity Council Leader of our Football Team's Student-Athlete Leadership Program, and I'm involved as a Leader-in-Training for our AWANA Club. Most importantly, I am firmly grounded in my strong faith in God and my loving family support.   Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and I look forward to what the next few years may bring. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any further questions you may have.
