Senior Yr / First...Junior Season Hig...Soph/Varsity SeasonFrosh SeasonPersonal Statement
It is my goal to play college football after high school. I am a determined and ambitious student-athlete both on and off the field. Education is extremely important to me and my family and will be my main focus in my college search. My goal is to attend a school where I will be challenged on the field and in the classroom, I am ready to take on both. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life and I plan on choosing a school and a program that are going to push me.
Hard work has gotten me to a place where I have an opportunity to play football in college and I understand that only more hard work will make this dream come true. I am confident in my individual abilities, but I always put the team first. I let my play on the field speak for itself.
Off the field I am in involved in Student Government (VP of my class for all three years) and have been selected into the the National Honor Society. I also volunteer my free time to the Keystone Club at the Boys and Girls Club and to the S.T.A.R.S Program, which is a program designed to help challenged students of varying abilities. Football has kept me centered and kept me driven towards my goals as a person. I know I have been blessed as an athlete and I enjoy giving back. I credit my family and my coaches for their support and guidance.
Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.
