Curtis Matsko '14 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'3", 240 pound Senior in High School. I run a 4.90 40 yard dash and bench press 250 pounds. I play several other sports but my passion is football. I play defensive end or outside linebacker on defense and quarterback on offense. I was pulled up from the junior high as a freshman to play at the JV and Varsity level and worked my way to play linebacker on varsity. As a sophomore I was moved to the defensive line and I did very well having 6.5 sacks and 54 tackles and going 9-3 after losing in the second round of district playoffs. My junior year I stayed on the defensive line, but I also played Quarterback. I also became one of our kick returners and punt returners. I had a rough season due to the fact I was diagnosed with Mono in August and played with its symptoms through out the year. When the season ended I was weighing near 220 and I was very week. However I began going to a trainer named Todd Bumgardner in State College PA, and when my symptoms were finally gone, I managed to build all of my strength back and more. I am confident that I am a hard worker and a great fit for any college program. I have faced adversity through my career and have managed to overcome it. I believe that any school that takes me on their team, will be happy with my work ethic and love for the game. I am also great in the classroom with a 3.7 GPA, as that is something that is just as important to me as playing football.
