Michael Dangler '21 Recruiting Profile

I am the oldest of 4 siblings and I try to be the best role model for my brother and sisters. I always give 100% in all that I do and truly understand what it means to be a part of something bigger than myself. Most importantly, I try to lead by example and believe in hard work and in team work. I am a 3 sport athlete but football is my passion. I respect authority and listen to what is being taught. Fortunately, I have had the great honor of being coached by some incredible men.

I have been playing football since the 5^th grade. I started OL/DL for my town (Chatham, NJ) for 5^th – 8^th grade. At the same time, I played OL/DL football for Delbarton School during the 7^th and 8^th grade. We went undefeated for both years while at Delbarton. During 8^th grade, I applied to several top tier high schools in N.J. and was fortunate to have been accepted in to all of the schools. Though I enjoyed and had a very positive experience at Delbarton, I decided to attend the Morristown-Beard School (MBS).  During my freshman year, I started Varsity football - both OL/DL. My primary position is Offensive Tackle. MBS made it to States, the first time since 2014.

I enjoyed my freshman year in high school. I think MBS is a good school; however, I decided to return to Delbarton School for 10th grade.  As a result, and based on transfer rules, I had to sit the first 30-days.  I believe that Delbarton will best meet both my academic and athletic goals. Delbarton is a very special place and maintains a strong sense of brotherhood. My goal is to continue to play OL/DL at Delbarton and become an integral member of the team. I plan to graduate at the top of my class in the hope that I may have the opportunity to continue to play football in college.

Ultimately, I am working towards acceptance in to a top-tier college football program where I can meet my academic goals and where my athletic talent will benefit the team.
