Austin Holzer '14 Recruiting Profile

As a high school football player, my obvious goal is to be able to play for a division one school.  But on top of that, I have my sights aimed at finding a school that would help me gain a degree in the business world. I know it is difficult to get accepted into the NFL, so I need to have an education that can support the family that I want to have in the future. Playing football in college, and even better playing for the teams that I look up too, would make my wildest dreams come true. I hope that I can someday say that I played college football. To have the oppotunity to compete with highly skilled athletes and coaches would be an honor; not only in some small school but for a college that I have admired for years. The bonus would be to gain a high quality education that will aid me for the rest of my life.

I plan on being a leader in my chosen field. I have the ability to choose what I want to do and I plan to do just that. The school that I go to will not only be a place for me to grow as an athlete but as a leader and an innovator in my field. I want to someday own a business and provide for my family. I will be able to use the skills that I acquired from playing for a team of hard working individuals that have a final goal in mind. Teamwork will be a major part of every business and football is a great place to teach me how to master this skill.
