Parker Aungst '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Parker, I have been playing soccer since I was four years old, so naturally I can kick a ball.  Up until this year, I had never even thought about playing football. My friend and I were goofing around on the football field. We had been throwing the ball and then he tells me to try and kick it, to my surprise, I kicked a 40 yard field goal. I called my mom to ask her if she cared if I played football because our school needed a kicker.  I went with my friend to practice  to talk to the Football coach and after watching me kick, I made the team! Thankfully my Soccer coach allowed me to play both sports. I was the Kickoff and Extra Point Kicker for the Varsity Football team & earned the Defensive Player of the year Award on my Soccer Team. 

Now that you know the story, we can get into why I would be a good candidate for your team. I have a weighted GPA of 4.2, which is maintained while playing three different sports. I am dually enrolled at Vance-Granville Community College in the Career & College Promise Program and am taking college classes to help me get a head-start on my college degree. I have been a student of merit for the past 4 years, and was inducted into the National Honors Society at the end of my sophomore year. 

Previously I have competed in AAU track and field at the National Junior Olympics, in both the 400m and 800m events. Last fall, I ran on the Cross-Country team and earned a spot to compete in States. Last Spring, I also competed on the golf team & earned a varsity letter in that sport.
