Sam Whitten '23 Recruiting Profile

I strive to be the best in the classroom and on the football field. I value education because I know that football is temporary. I have a 3.85 GPA and am ranked 12th out of 127 students. That GPA includes College Credit Plus (CCP) courses, and I am currently enrolled in CCP Calculus, Advanced Calculus, and others. My success in the classroom stems from my strong work ethic, as does my success on the football field. I am committed to my school, and to my coaches and teammates. My achievements in football also come from my dedication to the process and the preparation. Some recruits will say that they are the most dedicated, but my coaches will attest that I am the last to leave the football field and the last to leave the weight room. I spend a lot of time mentoring younger players, and I have spent a lot of time tutoring fellow students. There is never a day where I have to make myself go to practice, watch film, or go to the weight room. I attribute my outlook on life and effort to improve whatever I am a part of, as directly related to my strong faith. I bring all of these qualities to everything I do and know that this makes me someone you want on your team.
