Nick Bennett, (Cornell High, PA)

Football is more than just a game – it's a passion that's burned brightly since I first stepped on the field at nine years old. It's fueled a lifelong dream of competing at the collegiate level, an opportunity to elevate my skills and challenge myself on a whole new stage.

I approach the game with an unwavering work ethic. My dedication extends beyond practice drills. I consistently seek ways to improve, pushing myself through rigorous training to gain size, speed, and strength. This dedication translates to leadership on the field. I lead by example, motivating teammates with my hustle and positive attitude. Coaches appreciate my coach ability – I'm always eager to learn and refine my skills.

Academics are equally important. While my 2.6 GPA reflects current performance, I understand the commitment necessary to succeed at the college level. I'm prepared to work even harder, implement effective study habits, and maintain a strong GPA throughout my collegiate journey. I'm also passionate about giving back, and volunteering at local youth camps allows me to mentor younger players and share my love for the game.

My ideal college environment fosters growth both on and off the field. I'm open to exploring all options, seeking a program that pushes me academically while offering a competitive football program at the highest level possible. My ultimate goal goes beyond personal achievement; I aspire to be a role model for my peers and make my parents immensely proud.
