jason Funk '18 Recruiting Profile

    I've been playing football since I was 10 years old . My first year playing,  the team I played for won the HJK junior football championship and ever since, winning has been a part of who I am. As my football journey continued it became clear to me how much football truly means to me as it has shaped every aspect of my life.

    Throughout high school I focused heavily on football giving up baseball and a promising wrestling career (44-0) in order to pursuit my dreams of playing football at the next level. From rarely seeing the field my freshman year to not coming off the field but for 1 snap my sophomore year I made a statement that I would do whatever it takes to get the job done. Over the course of that year I joined a year round 3-day a week training program in which I still follow to this day that helped me put on 40 lbs, drop 4 tenths off my 40, and significantly increase my all around athleticism . I went on to start on varsity as a junior and continue to push myself physically and academically to achieve a goal of mine to play football at the college level.
