Matt Abati '15 Recruiting Profile

2012 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am 6' 0" and 2400 lbs, my bench is 300 lbs and my squat is 415 lbs. I have only been playing football for 5 years but I have loved every single moment I have been out on the field. I feel like I am a natural born leader, and if I don't lead with words, I sure lead by example. I aspire to be a division 1 college football player and to be the best ever to play college football. I also want to get a great education. I will be the hardest worker on the field day in and day out. I am always the first one in the weight room and the last one to leave, any of my coaches can attest to that. After I workout out and everyone has left I go run on the track or in the parking lot. My drive and will to win are my two best qualities, along with my ability to learn quickly. I am willing to play anywhere I am needed to help make the team and myself better. I hope coaches see as much potential in me as I see in myself.
P.S. I have size 15 feet so hopefully I still have some inches to grow.
