Troy Jennings '22 Recruiting Profile

I began competing in sports in kindergarten, and at various times competed in football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, baseball and track and field.  I played on an undefeated Little League Baseball team and a 25-2 seventh grade basketball team.  In eighth grade I switched to wrestling and won the Junior High Wrestling “Most Heart” award, and as a freshman was in the lineup all season and lettered on a league co-champion varsity wrestling team.  

Football is the sport that I immediately loved and I have played every year.  After ninth grade I decided to play only football and weight train year round.        

In football, I was one of two freshmen lettermen and won the Scout Team “Pride” Award.  As a freshman I played on all special teams and saw significant time as a backup linebacker and fullback.  As a sophomore I lettered and started at outside linebacker and shared the fullback position.  As a junior I lettered and started at middle linebacker, rotated in at tight end and fullback, and was the long snapper.  We finished the 2020 COVID-19 shortened regular season at 5-1, losing only to a state ranked Canton PA.  We then lost in the district semifinals to state ranked Danville PA who made it to the state semifinals respectively.

I am enthusiastic about football, coachable, a well-liked teammate, a leader, and always willing to do whatever it takes to help the team.  I persuaded several top athletes who were not playing football to join the team and they became significant contributors.   At the conclusion of our junior season I organized a 6 a.m. lifting program for the football team; together we are striving for a great senior season.   In college I will maintain the same drive and passion for football and I will be a valuable contributor to my team.
