Caleb mennen '17 Recruiting Profile

I am an extremely hard worker, diligent, and I love to be pushed.

My father is a pastor and I spent the first 9 years of my life living in France where my family worked with immigrants.  Because of this life experience, I am very well rounded and able to adapt to different cultures.  

My parents have instilled in me the importance of personal character over personal accomplishment.  If I achieve athletic goals but do not have solid character, my achievements will not support me; however, my personal character will.

Though my academics during my freshman and sophomore years were not nearly as strong as they could have been, I made the necessary changes and last semester had a 3.2.

I am a three sport athlete.

Wrestling:  Wrestled varsity all three years.

Track:   Varsity track all three years.  I made the 4x1600 relay team as a freshman and have gone to state the last 2 years.  

Football:  As a freshman I started on the sophomore team and was chosen as the offensive MVP for the freshman team.  As a sophomore I played varsity as both running back and middle line backer.  As a junior I started as free safety and as a running back averaged 7.9 yards per carry.
