Billy East ‘13 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I graduated in 2013 and have had quite the journey that has led me to begin looking, once again, for a chance to play football. I committed to West Point but then decided to go to Azusa Pacific instead where I battled many personal issues and I ended up making split, impulsive decisions to transfer to 2 different schools after Azusa Pacific. University of Mary in North Dakota and Mid America Nazarene University in Kansas. I have only played one season in 2013 but am still able to perform at the D1 level that I was at when I started college. I can be a leader on any team and help other players battle depression, suicide, substance abuse and ultimately rally the team together for a common goal of a championship. I am a unique human being with a gift of making plays on the football field and I am not the same 18 year old kid who said yes to anything. I have grown so much over the past few years and I know that I am more ready to play now than I have ever been.
