Gerald Walker '16 Recruiting Profile

My goals and aspirations are to further my education, be successful in football, become a better man for my family, make sure my mother will never have to work again in her life ,and become a person who the community can count on to come back and help out with the kids. What makes me a great candidate for your team is that I will bring great leadership on and off the field. I will lead by example, by being vocal and doing the right thing the first time. I'm going to leave my blood, sweat,and tears in everything I do. What makes me different from other recruits is my character. My mother taught me to always respect my elders, to respect others, and to be honest. I believe I have a natural instinct for the game of football. I believe once I see it done,I will try and do it right the first time. I can do anything that I put my mind on. I might not be the tallest and I might not be the fastest, but I can tell you that everyday I'm going to come out and work harder then anybody else on the team. I will strive to be great. My academics will be the most important thing to me. My parents and family have instilled in me that education come first and I truly agree with that. When football is over I would like to fall back on my education. I want to be a student first and athlete second, because I'm going to give you the same 100% on the field and in the classroom. So, whatever school wants to offer me a scholarship just know you are getting a young man who will work hard, and do as he is told. I want to succeed and also give a 100% to help improve your college become a better school.
