Gideon Merhib '27 Recruiting Profile

What makes me different is that I will always be the hardest working person you have on the team, on and off the field. I am focused and determined and combined with my work ethic, I know my life long dream of playing football, learning and growing with the best in football will continue each day that I am able to play.

Through my life I have had to be independent and grow up faster and be responsible sooner than many of my peers.  I live every day grateful for my family, friends and to be able to do things I love.  I feel a responsibility to celebrate things people have in common and their differences. I have set myself apart in being a leader in the classroom, on the field and in life in general. At a young age, I learned the power of kindness that was given to me and I work every day to bring kindness to others.

I love sports, competition, fun and the outdoors. You will find me playing AAA hockey, basketball, lacrosse, mountain biking, snow boarding and any activity that challenges me physically. 

Academically, I have a 3.7 GPA, play trumpet in the band and am an active and engaged student in school.
