Junior SeasonSophomore SeasonPersonal Statement
I have a true passion for football. I am constantly outside throwing and doing footwork drills, working out or pulling up youtube videos of various quarterbacks-studying their throwing techniques and evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. I love to learn new things and I want to learn more each and every day. I have had a strong desire to be a college football player since I was a young kid. I go to camps outside of my area and compete in national competitions because I desire to get better and hope to someday play with the best. I have learned from every camp and competition that I have participated in and each experience has made me not only a better football player but also a stronger individual. I continue to strive to move the chains and challenge myself daily. I give my best effort on and off the field. I acknowledge the value of teamwork and realize that it takes the whole team to be successful. I push myself and I encourage my teammates to give their best effort. I believe I not only have the talent to compete for a college team, but I also have the passion, character, leadership skills, and work ethic to make a big impact on your program.
