Griffin King '24 Recruiting Profile

Both of my parents were Division One Varsity Athletes. My mom was a 4 year swimmer and my dad played Baseball. I have always looked up to them and what they were able to achieve.  Their success has fueled me and been a goal of mine since I started playing sports.  I want to be a College Athlete like my parents and compete at the highest level. They have taught me the value of hard work, dedication and being a good teammate. They have also taught me to never give up.

I am different from my peers because not many 17year olds that are 6'1 and 275 pounds can move the way I move on the football field.  I may be big, but my feet are fast and my hands are soft. My line coach tells me I am one of the hardest working athlete he has ever trained, and that means a lot to me because he has trained amazing athletes at every level.  My physical attributes combined with my work ethic make me special.  It takes a lot to rattle me.  I thrive in pressure situations and I love a challenge. My school coach calls me a warrior that leads the team into battle each and every game.  I work just as hard in the classroom as I do on the football field and I am as proud of my grades as I am of my athletic successes.

One of the things I am most proud of is helping my teammates be better - in practices, in games and in life situations.  I am proud to be "that guy" that they can always depend on. I believe because of these attributes, I would be a value to any college program as student athlete and I cannot wait to make this dream a reality!
