Ryan Warkentin '22 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals and aspirations are to play as far as I can and to help my football team as much as possible. I believe I am a good candidate for your team because I am a positive leader, a hard worker, and a fast learner. I am different from other recruits in character because of my attitude. I am very coachable and I will put my team first no matter what. I am unique from other recruits in athletics because of the sports I play. My sophomore year was my first year of football. Before that I had played water polo for 4 years, going into my 5th year (sop yr) however we got a new football coach. His name is coach Gates and he started talking to me about trying football out. I agreed to play spring ball once baseball had ended. After spring ball ended I was split between water polo and football. I decided to keep trying football and played the 7 on 7 season and I was torn between the two sports. Then I talked to both the polo and football coaches and we all came to an agreement that I could play both, Varsity water polo and Varsity football. So I split my time between the two sports and never missed a game for either sports I went to football twice a week and water polo twice a week and in both sports I started and competed as hard as I could. In Academics, I class rank 40 out of 450 and I have been on Honor Roll 4 times and maintain a 3.75 GPA. I also take Accelerated Math and English classes as well as 2 AP History Classes and Chemistry Honors. Thank you for your time and I hope that you will consider me for your program.
