Phillip Barnes '22 Recruiting Profile

One thing that I have always loved about my sport  is the ability to have no limitations, what you get is what you earn. Throughout my football career, I've acquired many life long friendships with people who inspire me to be better. A goal I have always had is to be able to play sports in college while still receiving good grades. I am ranked 14th in the nation and am a 4.5 star recruit. What makes me different from other athletes is that I know what hard work really means and how to be a leader. Since I was 13, I have worked at a landscaping company. Not only Was I promoted to a Crew Chief at my job but I was voted by teammates as a captain, as a junior. This required 60 hour weeks with the addition of workouts and practices. With this, I have learned the importance of time management, punctuality, and how to prioritize what is important to me. I am also involved in many extracurricular activities, one major activity being a group called Stand by Me. Stand by Me is a student-led club that my peers and I started to spread kindness and love to others, we strive to include everyone and make anyone feel welcomed. Furthermore, I am apart of FCA (Fellowship of Student-Athletes) and am involved in the youth group at my church.
