Sam Mauro '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi Coach! Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my page. I am a high school junior and the starting DE on my varsity football team with a winning record. I train and condition for football year-round with 100% dedication. In the winter, I also play on the varsity basketball team as the starting center. Being a two-sport athlete keeps me in shape all year and helps my speed, strength and endurance for football season. It has also taught me the importance of learning to balance practice with schoolwork, which I'm improving on every day. I am laser focused on my football game and strive to make improvements each time I play. One of the things that sets me apart is my attitude. I care about my teammates and the professionals who work with me, fostering an environment where we all work together to succeed. You will see me at practice on time every day with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. I listen intently to coaches' feedback and implement suggestions for improvement immediately. I recently went head-to-head with a state ranked Senior DE who committed to a D1 school and was able to shed him and help my team win a big upset (see video against Baldwinsville 10/14/22). I am excited to work with a college coach who can help me continue to grow as a football player and help unlock my full potential.
