Adonis Whitney '22 Recruiting Profile

growing up I never thought about going to play college ball for any sport; I just used sports to not be at home because of all the things that was happening. I didn’t really put no effort in it. I didn’t have that passion. The more I matured and realized that I could actually use it to get away from all the trouble around me was too late. I was barley going to school because my family was fighting and going in and out of jail so I kept moving houses to houses and when they wasn’t in jail we always got eviction letters and I had no place to call home. when I because a junior in high school I finally had a stable place to call my home so I worked hard to get my grades up and got back on grade level and was taking extra classes because I was told I wouldn’t make it too college with the grades I had and ever since then I put my mind in the classroom and kept pushing to graduate with my originally class. The thing is my gpa was still low so I couldn’t get accepted by schools. I was lucky COVID hit so I was able to get an extra year too help me out but the more I realize its not helping me out they just wanted me back an extra year to play football and I feel like im not helping my gpa in school so I’m just tryna do my best to prove to these coaches that I’m willing to work in the classroom as much as I am on the field!
