John McDowell III '13 Recruiting Profile

I'm 5'8", 170 lbs. I run a 4.4 40,10.6 in the 100, and a 22.4 in the 200. I train daily during the off season by running track and lifting in the weight room to get stronger and increase my speed. This 2012 season will be my third year on the varsity football team. I was voted a captain and I will do whatever it takes to lead my team and make them a better player and teammate. I bring leadership and hard work to my team. I set a good example for my teammates with my positive attitude and drive. I never get down and give up when we're down.

I am not as concerned with the size and location of the school as I am with getting a college education and playing college football. I am equally comfortable in a small town as a big city. I know that I will strive to do my best whether the classrooms are large or small. I want to major in Kinesiology and minor in Business to be a personal trainer. My desire is to play at the highest competition level possible. Making a huge impact on my team is important to me. I want to continue being a leader and I want my teammates to be able to look up to me.
