Alexandros Koulpasis '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Alexandros Koulpasis, Alex for short. The Plaquemine High School head coach was scouting me as I played soccer for PHS. He pulled me off the team at the end of my junior year. I walked on the PHS football team as the starting kicker in the first game of the playoffs the 2011 season. I immediately fell in love with the adrenaline and excitement of being on a football team.  Its like no other. Being that its my first year playing football coaches and announcers say I have what it takes to get to the next level and I am thrilled and willing to do so. Its currently my goal to make my coaches proud, and to feel honored that I represent my high school and help to win a championship. My other goal is to make it to the college level, and then to the pro level. I'd like to be annouced in front of everyone on graduation day that I recieved a scholarship for playing football at a college. The colleges I am looking at are LSU, Nicholls, and South Eastern, McNeese, Tulane but I am still willing to see which colleges offer me a scholarship, at the same time I realize that I have only played for one year and hope that coaches can see my heart, dedication, willingness, and love for the sport of football.  I believe with the right coaching that I can take my talents to my coaches expectations and to the levels that I am reaching for.  On the flip side, I am a 4.0 student and I know that it is equally important that I represent my school that has high academic achievement expectations of me.  I know for a fact that I will make my college proud of this achievement and want to be a roll model for other athletes and students. I promise to give 1000 percent in whatever I set my goals to.  Thank You.
