Jason Atkins '21 Recruiting Profile

Even though my freshman year I only played 2 games, due to my grades being down. I feel like I finally learned grades really do matter and that it sucks sitting out the rest of the season because you can't get it together, but I feel I've changed and my grades have improved so much. I've always been into football since I was basically born because my dad played, and my brother currently plays in the NFL right now, I've always been an athletic kid and have played basically every sport.This year I learned I'm a better leader than I thought & I have a lot of integrity. There are no easy days at all, and you have a lot of responsibilities like waking up at 6 am to go to practice & then come back for weightlifting at 3 pm every single day in the rain, cold, and the hot sun. During High school, I'm going to work for at least a 3.5 GPA or higher. In college, I wanna be able to maintain it and maybe even do better and knock some college semesters out the way in high school where I'll be better prepared for college. I've had to overcome a lot of things in life that I look back on, and can say I made it through all the down's and now I'm up. I feel like I have a lot of people who look up to me & I influence them to want to be great. I'm very coachable and I know I have a lot of skill I just like to perfect my technique.
