My name is Joseph Neal. I am a student first and an athlete second.
My collegiate goals and aspirations are to get a degree and to maintain a high GPA. It has always been my desire to play on a collegiate level. I am a very coachable athlete, I do well with criticism and I aspire to make myself and the people around me better every day. I am an honors student and I take my academics just as serious as my football. I would like to pursue a school with a very renowned academic reputation. My ideal athletic environment would be one where I am able to make a large impact on the people around me.
I am different from most athletes because I refuse to give up on myself and my teammates. I am very serious about everything I do. I refuse to give up on anything. If I am given a challenge I will not stop working until I finish it and I view football the same way. I will not stop working at it until I become the absolute best I can be. I will not stop until the people around me are the best they can be. I haven't given up on anything in life and I don't plan on that happening anytime soon.
