Anthony Ballard '21 Recruiting Profile

As far as education goes, I have been looking towards a degree in English. However through previous readiness assignments in my current homeroom class, I have begun to explore other fields of work.  This includes a sports commentator which I would most definitely do after my career. Also, I have been looking towards a sort of biologist as sort of a plan C if nothing else goes in my favor. Now in terms of athletics I have really enjoyed playing football so far. This will be my eighth year playing football as of October of this year. I will play any position on the field that the coach thinks I would be good at, even if i have absolutely zero prior knowledge of. This year being my Freshman year I played a combination of running back and slot receiver, scoring an average of 2-3 times a game and 1-2 two point conversions. My highest scoring game was our homecoming game at Celebration high school and I scored 4 times.  As of now in my Freshman year in high school I have an unweighted GPA of 3.714, and a weighted GPA of 4.071. Academics is the most important key in my life, if done correctly it will guide me to my absolute success, if done poorly I may end up like the rest and never achieve my dreams/aspirations. I am different from other candidates because I value my academics and realize that without them my dream of making it big is nothing short of a daydream. I will be a figure for the school by showing that a student athlete has the same opportunity as everyone else if not more.
