Christopher Desilva '20 Recruiting Profile

My dream is to be a professional football player.  I loved the sport since i was a little boy.  My passion for the sport came from my granddad who made it to the college level and was close to going professional. What make me a good candidate for your team is my skills on the field and off the field. On the field i'm a leader who has no problem in helping my teammates and teaching them new things. Off the field I'm a scholar. My grades mean the most to me.  What make me different form other recruits is my stride to be the best i can no matter what obstacle is in my way. I'm a player who understand you cant win every game. Losing is just a way to get my mind  right, to understand that their always someone better than you.  When dealing with academics i understand that Student comes before athlete.  Football wont last forever, so when that time comes when i got to hang the gear i know that I'm intelligent and my grades can help me do something else in life.  Athletics I believe that a good athlete must show determination, leadership, and knowledge. I understand that my coach is here to better me as a football player but also as a person. I believe in being the first on the field and the last one off. Even when practice is over for the team that doesn't mean its over me. I'll stay after practice and work on my technique and train harder.
