Makai Scatliffe '24 Recruiting Profile

My Collegiate goals and aspirations are goals of becoming an athletic trainer, athletic director, coach and a value player on the team. I am a leader in every aspect of my life, determined, and passion for football and wrestling. Growing up in a one-parent household with my mom, who is a retired disabled veteran, shaped me into a well rounded, loyal, and strong determination. I started playing football since I was 6, I did it for the memory of my Grandfather who passed away when I was 5. My recent athletic achievements are, I was Honorable Mention for the district in football, made it to states in wrestling. I have played defensive end, running back, linebacker and some of every position on the field.  The attributes that I will contribute to the team are my leadership skills, loyalty, determination, passion for the game and willing to learn how to better my craft. There is always something to learn and discover. I was apart of the NJROTC at my school for 3 years, which led me to become a lead member for the color guard. I excelled in rank very quickly and I was a top nominee for the Commander position. Unfortunately, I had a tough decision to make between staying with NJROTC or stick with my trade class of cosmetology and getting licensed barber and hair stylist as a backup plan. I am different from other recruits in many ways. For starters you will get all my effort and beyond. Being able to bring the team into a family. My reliability, and being open to learn things about myself, my team and my craft.
