Nick Verbeck '14 Recruiting Profile

I am a highly motivated individual both in the classroom and in sports. I am a three sport athlete who has been making some difficult decisions lately to give up some of the sports I have always played and loved in order to participate in other sports that will better help me reach my goal of being a collegiate football player. I have exchanged basketball for wrestling and baseball for track.

I love sports but I also value education and am looking for a college that will allow me to excel at both football and academics. I am willing to entertain options from any size or location of school that will allow me to accomplish these goals and values.

Now that I have made the decision to concentrate on a collegiate career in football I am dedicating my time between now and then to be as prepared as possible.

I love to be involved and work as a team but I am also very capable of working independently. I balance school, sports, FCA and work. I currently work as a lifeguard and swim instructor. I also volunteer for activities through student council and attend leadership conferences and trainings.

At this time I would like to pursue a degree in Sports Medicine and possibly become an Orthopedic Surgeon.
