Spencer Ferguson '21 Recruiting Profile

I was born with a passion for football. I begged for my first football uniform at 3 years old and it could not include a plastic helmet, it had to be the kind the "real players wear."  My mom had to hold me off from playing little league until I was 7.  My neighbors still talk about watching me play "One on None" in the yard for years growing up.  ("One on None," is a name my parents gave my hours of playing football by myself on the lawn as the offense, defense and announcer.)  When I play football I get a feeling inside of me that is hard to describe.  I feel the greatest joy on that field. In all my years of playing little league and other levels of sports, my coaches have always said I have extraordinary athletic ability. I was given natural gifts in athleticism.  I feel I am a very versatile player with abilities that could play any position. 

With my  gifts and my passion I am a player that can make great things happen for any team.  I am a hard worker and give 100% to learning and following directions, listening to coaches and giving my all in all that I am asked to do. I am a team player, a quiet leader and recognize that I can do nothing without a team of dedicated, hard working  members.   I value honesty and doing what I say I will do and have the highest expectations for myself.  I have high moral standards and am a positive person who tries to see the good in everyone. 

My goals for high school are to get good grades, and win a state championship in football and basketball. I know this will take great effort and sacrifice on my part.  It would be a dream to play at the college level in a program that I could continue to develop as an athlete and I will do everything I can to accomplish that goal.  I have a this quote hanging in my room; "Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream and a vision."  I know I have that inside of me!
