Personal Statement
Good evening,
My name is Elijah Joseph and I am a 15 year old rugby player from England, who is currently making the change from Rugby to Football.
I am a Centre (mixture of running back and a linebacker) who has played for some of the top teams in England - Huddersfield Giants, England 16’s and County rugby.
I would love to be a part of your Football program.
I am a young explosive player, who is well disciplined, however I am not afraid to get in messy situations; if I see a player I will tackle them, if I am running the ball, my intention is to run through whoever is in front of me.
My main inspiration to play the sport is because my father played a bit when he went to college in America and the likes of Marshawn Lynch and Ray Lewis are my idols.
I have scored 36 try’s this season (touchdowns)
My tackling percentage is 92%
And I am a very hard working player.
Trapbar deadlift - 1 rep 200kg
Bench press - 1 rep 110KG
I have played for various rugby Academies and I am on my way to represent GB U19 for American Football
