Preston Whitlock ...Personal Statement
I aspire to attend a University that is well known for Engineering. I have a 4.1 GPA taking AP/college classes, in the National Honor Society, and will have 1 year of basic college classes completed when I graduate high school. I started and have lettered in 3 sports (football, soccer, basketball) and play Dixie baseball (3rd in state of Virginia for 2 years). I would like to play football in college as either a kicker or on defense. My junior season I made 8-10 field goals with most 40+ yards and made all extra points. Most kickoffs are touchbacks.. I made 1st team all district and 2nd team all region defensive back and am known for hard hitting. Senior season I made 1st team all Three Rivers District Defensive Back, Tight End and Kicker. I also made 1st Team All Region 2C Kicker and Tight End and 2nd Team All Region 2C Defensive Back. I have a quiet nature but give 100% in practice as well as games.
