Jackson Waller - ...Personal Statement
I have played and loved soccer since the age of 4, which led into my love of kicking and punting in football. My grandfather was a punter and held a state record in Texas. He showed me how to punt starting in 5th grade. I began kicking for my junior high team in 8th grade. while I missed the first two PATs, I have made every PAT and field goal opportunity since then. I have also been mentored by Jared Zirkel, the kicker for Georgia and family friend, since 8th grade when I decided that I wanted to seriously pursue kicking through college and possibly beyond.
I learned to project my voice and speak publicly without fear through my leadership role as centerback in soccer (calling out plays and keeping the team's formation tight).
I currently have a 3.8 GPA and I have participated since Kindergarten in the gifted/talented program in Katy ISD.
During college, I would like to study Sports Agency/Management and Business while playing football as a kicker and punter at the collegiate level. After college, I would like to continue my participation in the sport by becoming an advocate and agent for professional athletes.
