Personal Statement

My name is Richard Olekanma. I am a junior at Downers Grove North High School, Illinois, class of 2014. I am 6'2 and weigh 215 lbs. I am a 2 year starter as a Wide Receiver. This past season, my team made the state quarterfinals and I received honorable mention in the 2012 All Area Football Team. For the coming season, my coaches plan to expand my role on defense as a Safety/Linebacker. I work hard at home, at school and on the field and I currently have a GPA of 3.4. I am a team leader who likes to lead by the way I practice and play. In addition to my school's offseason workouts, I am currently training at Get Fast Inc and Core 6 athletes. My 40 yards, Vertical, Squats and Bench press stats are steadily improving and I plan to perform exceedingly well at the forthcoming football combines/camps and on a recent Core 6 Showcase event on January, 21 2013, I was named as one of the new top perfomers by Edgy Tim of Chicago tribune.
