Lance Slone '24 Recruiting Profile

My goal of the college experience is not that of only furthering my time with the sport I have been in love with my whole life, but also to further my life goals and set me upon the path that will see me to success as I finish the experience. I have always gone through life with pride in what I have done. This means in school, church, community, sports, and all facets of life. Simply put, I do not live through challenges and calamity, but rather I thrive in them knowing the pride and success that will succeed the outcome. My desire is to push myself and look for those challenges. That desire can be satisfied, along with that of my thirst for continuing my football career, by playing collegiately. Academically, I have always proven myself by being one the highest achievers using my intellect and allowing my hard work and relentlessness to pick up where that left off to achieve the goals of which myself and others set. Despite all that has been said, I want to play football because I love it. From the very first time I stepped on a grass field, with my cleats probably tied a little too tight, and put that helmet on, I knew I was in love. My passion has done nothing but grow since that day. I could go on forever logistically or philosophically on why I would want to play, but it all boils done to the simple statement of that is what I love doing and what I want to see success in.
