Matt MacDonald '15 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to go to college, get an education and continue playing football. I would like to go into the medical field, maybe pharmacy.

I've been on the football field since I was 7 and can't imagine not playing organized football after high school.  I have played multiple positions at the youth, middle school and high school level, including several years at quarterback.  I feel this has enhanced my abilities as a defensive back because I am able to recognize formations and read the offense much quicker, which has improved my reaction time.  I have a solid understanding of the various schemes and zones, defensively, and can adapt to all defensive sets.

I have a strong work ethic and I push myself to be a better player, person, and teammate.  I spend the winter, spring and early summer months participating in camps and combines so I can continue to improve and develop my skills and techniques against some of the top athletes in the Northeast Region and Country.  I've learned something new at every event I've attended.

My hard work and focus isn't limited to just football or sports.  I work hard to maintain a solid GPA of 3.2 (current) or greater.  I realize that when an institution has limited opportunities for student-athletes, grades and course work can often be a determining factor.  That's why I try to stay balanced, equally successful at athletics and academics.

I hope this summary along with my highlight films and seasonal stats is enough for coaches and recruiters to take an interest in me.

I look forward to what's ahead.

Best regards,
