Dustin Atchley '13 Recruiting Profile

    My name is Dustin Atchley. I am a 5’ 10’’, 195 lb rising senior who has a love for the sport of football. I have a burning desire to play at the next level, and the determination to get myself there. I have a work ethic that I have found to be unparalleled. I run a 4.53 forty, and have been a first team all-conference player for the past two years as a starter on varsity.
     This past year, I began to accept a leadership role on the team. I was the first player on the practice field everyday, and made it a point to hustle in everything I did. There is no excuse for laziness. I have always dreamed, and made it my goal, to play at the next level, despite all the doubters. I have gotten up at 5:30 in the morning on weekdays, since my eighth grade year, for strength and conditioning training under Michael Greene. I decided I wanted to play at the collegiate level, then decided to do something about it. I am looking for a school that will push me to my full potential, and despises laziness as much as I do. I do whatever my coach asks of me, and never quit.
     I am open to any and all schools that would like to contact me. I don’t yet have a preference on what type of college I would like to attend, and geographic location is not that important to me. My main goal is to play at the next level, and to make a difference on the team that I play on.
    I don’t just work hard on the field and weight room, but also in the classroom. Grades will never be an issue, because I fully understand the importance of performance in the classroom, and know that the grades must come first. I have not yet decided on a major, but think I may want to go into engineering or some branch of science. However, this is subject to change.
