Josh Brown '15 Recruiting Profile

My name is Josh Brown.  I am currently 6’6” and weigh 240.  I am a senior at Colfax High School.  I will be graduating in 2015 after lettering all four years at Colfax.  I earned a starting position as a sophomore at left offensive tackle and have held it through my senior year.  I have also started as a defensive tackle and end for the last three years.  I have been the long snapper all four years, so I basically come off the field at the quarter and halftime.  I am one of the first players to ever be named as a captain for two years in a row at our school.

I have been a leader in our weight room, our locker room, on the practice field and on game day.  I would be called more of the “quiet leader” type because I believe in letting my actions speak before my mouth does.  I have worked to have a reputation that is a man of integrity, hard work, and unquestionable character.

I am a student of film and learning my opponent.  I work hard physically and mentally in order to beat him.  I believe our small school has given me an advantage because I get to play both sides of the ball and have learned the skills to be better whichever position I am playing.

I also compete in track in the field events, with discus being my best event.  I placed 8th and 6th in the State Championship during my sophomore and junior years.  I am 5” away from setting a new school record and that is my goal this spring.

Off the field, I am involved in FFA, the school play, youth groups and helping in my mom’s elementary classroom.  During the summers since my 8th grade year, I have worked for a local farmer, repairing fence, spraying weeds, driving trucks and equipment, welding, cleaning and everything else!

My life experiences have given me a great work ethic and my parents have taught me integrity and respect, as well.

I want to play football at the next level and continue to be a team player. I am excited to see what else I can learn at your program that I will use for the rest of my life.
