Taylor Gundy '11 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Taylor Gundy . I am a 5'8 , 170 pound defensive back at River Valley High School (Caledonia,OH) and I graduate in 2011. I am a very explosive athlete , boasting a 4.4 40 , 3.9 pro agility , 38 inch vertical , 9 ft. 9 in. broad jump , and 6.7 3-cone . I currently have a 2.8 GPA and scored a 21 on the ACT , with my desired major being in business . Some of my strengths are leadership , work ethic , perseverance , and a positive attitude. I've been injured the past two years, but my love for the game has willed me to keep working hard. Training is a very important thing to me. I firmly believe that if I out-train you , I'll out-play you. I go to team workouts 3 times a week in the AM , as well as a personal trainer in the PM. On "off" days , I work on position specific drills with my brother. I've come a long way in the weight room , going from a 115 pound bench press and 215 pound squat to a 260 pound bench press and a 405 pound squat in just over a year and a half. Nutrition is also very important to me. I honestly haven't drank a pop in about a year ! I don't like to put things in my body that won't help it. I take all of these beliefs and morals very seriously because of my dream to play college football. I've received letters (DI,DII,DIII) , phone calls (DII), and e-mails (DI,DII,DIII) from college coaches but my recruitment is not very serious right now. I'm looking for a school that can provide excellent academics , a great atmosphere, and top-of-the-line football at the same time. Unfortunately , my financial situation is not very ideal at the moment. I live in a single-parent household and my mother is currently unemployed . This will make it very tough for me to choose a school who isn't offering a scholarship of some sort . My goals when going off to college are to get on the field as soon as possible , excel on the field and in the classroom , and pursue a professional football career (NFL,CFL,AFL).
