Since I was young, I have loved, played and studied the art of football. It is one of the things I am best at. I study historical plays and players like John Randall
and Lawrence Taylor. Football has given me a deeper understanding of my life. Some of my best friendships developed on the football field
and I now consider these guys my brothers. I believe it has made me a better person. Over the summer, I met Dabo Sweeney (one of the greatest college football
coaches, I've ever met). I listened to his speech. In one speech, he changed my views on religion and solidified my thoughts on loyalty, commitment and faith. I
want to play at the next level because I love the game. I want to surround myself with people like Coach Sweeney because he inspires me. I am ready to
work hard, make necessary sacrifices, and take the needed steps to succeed.
