2014 Highlights
2013 HighlightsPersonal Statement
To all coaches D1, D1AA, D2, D3, My name is Randy Nails Jr. I'm a football player. My size may not be the standard, but my on the field play and off the field character expectations are off the charts. I'm just looking for a team to give me an opportunity to show that I belong both on and off the field. All my life I've been told I'm too short, don't weight enough, not fast enough. I will always continue to prove those who don't believe. I've spent every summer in summer school since my eighth grade year. I came into my senior season with 22 credits, a 80 combine ACT: 20 composite all while attending summer football practice, 7 on 7 tournaments. I've simulated my high school years as if I were in college already. Mornings have started at 5:30am and ended well after 6pm. I compete against D1 players every week as I play in one of Georgia's most competitive classifications AAAAAA Region 8. I was voted Team Captain my Senior Year. Made Gwinnett All County 2nd Team Running Back. Selected to Gwinnett All Star Team. Also selected to participate in the O-D All-American Bowl in Orlando. I volunteer with Gwinnett Youth Football League as well Red Cross. Thank you in advance for any opportunity that your school will give me.
