Pedro Mariquinhos '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Pedro Mariquinhos-Fernandes, I am 16 years old and I am from Pennsylvania. I know that alot of the elements of my account are blank and that is because I have never ever played a snap of football on a team in my life. But wait dont stop reading, I have been in love with the game of football since I was about 6 years old and the game is one of the biggest things that keeps me going in life. Going into high school I wanted to go to a school that had a football team in order to experience what it would be like to play in a real game with real players and real rules. I was accepted into northeast high school and was ready to go and tryout for the team. But that never happened because my mother wouldn't let me go to any other school besides Swenson Arts and Technology High School, and I would've been okay with it if the School actually had a football team, but they didnt. But if you're reading this you're probably think why should I recruit this kid he has never played a snap in his life he probably doesn't even know how to hold a football, but to that I would say that when I set my mind to something I'll push myself until I get to the point where I achieve my goals and I'm not the kind of person who'll back down because something was "too hard" or "impossible" I'll get it done no matter how hard I have to work and no matter how mentally and physically draining it is. I would also like to say that even though I have never played for any official teams I have spent countless hours throughout my life playing football with friends, classmates, neighbors ect. I've watched hundreds of games and before the coronavirus pandemic I was starting almost daily football training with a group of guys. I understand the game of football and I know that I can play it. But if you decide to recruit me I swear that I will do everything in my ability to let you know that you made the right decision. I just want a shot to prove my worth to the world that even though I've never played on a team that doesn't mean that I cant play.
