James Estes '19 Recruiting Profile

    I would like to play at the collegiate level because I love the game. Over the past 2 to 3 years, I've worked extremely hard to play at the highest level. For example, I began my high school football career only weighing 140 pounds. Now, I am over 280 pounds because of hard work in the off-season. I am a good candidate for any team because I have a work ethic like no other. I will be the first person to arrive to practice and the last person to leave day in and day out. I am different from other recruits because of my strength, my intelligence, and my leadership on and off the field. I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in my life and I will take advantage of every opportunity that is given to me. My ultimate goal is to play football professionally or to play until it is impossible to do so. 

    I am very comfortable in the classroom and have averaged a weighted 4.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale. I recently received a 28 on the ACT. I am also very involved in my community. For example, I coordinated a field day for the kids at my local Boys and Girls Club. Recently, I received invitations to play in both the Blue-Grey All-American game and the NUC All-American game.
