Antonio Whittaker '22 Recruiting Profile

My goal as a student athlete this upcoming  is to leverage football in order to get me into a school that I know I will enjoy attending. My goal in terms of school is to get my degree and set myself up for a successful career in the future.  What makes me different from other recruits is that I don’t see any other way for me to achieve my goals than football. Which means I will consistently put forth my best effort not only on the field but in the classroom as well because I understand that they are both equally important for me to get where I want to be. My drive to be the best at what I set out to do is relentless as I strive to not only graduate college but also have the opportunity to keep playing the sport I love after high school knowing that not everyone gets that same opportunity in life.  I currently have a 3.0 GPA and I know that I must work diligently to increase that score this upcoming school year. I am considered very polite, caring, and coachable and am always confident that I can succeed no matter the circumstance. I do not shy away from criticism from coaches, teachers, or employers as I have always used it as motivation to push myself harder knowing I can do better at whatever it is I am doing.
