Colby Smith '20 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to graduate from a school with a very competitive athletic program and contribute to the team's success, then I hope to compete at a professional level.  I’m interested in a school that challenges me physically, mentally, but also satisfies my interests socially. 

Playing sports is my passion, being a high-performance athlete is extremely satisfying; however, I’m interested in an education in the field of structural engineering.  I love the idea of producing something real, a physical product, be it a building or a bridge thus creating part of a city. I excel in problem solving, math and physics.  I’m interested in applying those talents towards structural building concepts. I thrive on working cohesively as a team and understanding the needs of others, so I would enjoy working with the various people it takes to create a building including, architects, mechanical engineers and learning more about other aspects of building design.

I am a leader amongst my peers; dynamic fast and versatile, able to play multiple positions well.  Being a quick learner, I will bring a lot to your team! I'm very selfless, focusing on the success of the team as a whole, above my personal achievements.  Throughout my high school athletic career, I have earned the respect and trust of my teammates leading them to meet high expectations set by our coaching staff.  My coaches have taught me core values of being part of a team and my community.  I have learned from my mistakes and been conditioned to be accountable for working hard and being prepared 100% in every practice, at every game.
