Tanner Westerman '21 Recruiting Profile

I want to be a diesel mechanic and be able to help my brother with the farm equipment and implements. On the side I will be able to have my own shop and be my own boss. The family will need help with the farm at times and I can do that if I'm working for myself.  I work hard to prove my skills since I'm from a small town and don't have a family name here so it's grind everyday. I prove myself daily not just to get my starting position but to keep it.  I don't always have the position I desire but I'm dedicated to the position I'm in. I've played 9 positions on both sides of the ball not because I wanted to but because I kept being moved due to not having a growth spurt when everyone else did.  The positives that came from that experience is I understand the game from different angles unlike some of my teammates. I never complained, just played my position to the best of my ability. I've excelled at cornerback since I have been in this position and kept here. I'm quick and have good hands. I'm a team player and will fill in at any position when asked.  I try hard in school even though I struggle sometimes.  Lately I have also been considering a career in law enforcement but that is something that I will have to wait to do because of the age limitations on that career. I cannot be an LEO until I am at least 21 years old. I have thought on this a lot lately and I believe this may be the direction I am headed in.
