Junyoung Chung '22 Recruiting Profile

Tell coaches about your collegiate goals and aspirations.

My long-term aspirations are to either go pro or become a personal trainer. I am interested in a school that will challenge me both mentally and physically that will help me become a better player/man. I am a player that thrives in a competitive atmosphere and I would love to play for a school that competes at a high competitive level. Football is my passion, I hope one day I will have the opportunity to play at the highest level. 

What makes you a good candidate for this team.

I am very coachable, It was my first year playing middle linebacker this year and I racked up 101 total tackles and 25 tackles for loss throughout a 10-1 season. I am capable of bringing a lot to a team, I played both sides of the ball at RB, MLB, and special teams! Many consider me as undersized for the MLB position, but as shown in my film I am very physical and play the position with a lot of speed and pride.

What makes you different from other recruits in character, athletic and academic.

After losing a playoff game this year the opposing coach shook my hand and said "You're a Great player because you play this game with your heart; I want my sons to play linebacker like you did, embrace this feeling, and let it fuel you when you go on to play for the next level". I will never forget what he said that night, It will drive me to work harder for my aspirations and goals.
