Nigel McKnight '15 Recruiting Profile

My name is Nigel J McKnight. I’m currently a senior at Academy at Palumbo High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  My aspirations are to play football on the collegiate level, continue to make a conscious commitment to being a model student – athlete, graduate college with honors, and ultimately gain the opportunity to one day be a football coach. I love the game of football and understand that it takes hard-work and commitment to achieve my goals. I take pride in my individual accomplishments but fully understand that football is a team sport, and if I can inspire my teammates as I inspire myself then everyone wins. I have always been a leader in the game of football. I am capable of playing several positions, and will always work hard to do what is needed to support our team’s efforts.  There is a saying that keeps me focus, “The strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf.”  I can be that wolf for any college pack.  I know I can be a definite asset to any college program that is willing to allow me to prove myself.
