Austin Pfenninger '13 Recruiting Profile

Committed to the University of Miami

UPDATE- In the process of transferring. Starter as a freshman in college with 32 catches. College film is in profile. Looking to attend a larger university preferably, joining a team as a walk-on is fine. I'll also consider very high academic D3 schools.  Contact me if you need any additional information. I received D1-AA, D2 and NAIA offers during high school as well as D1A walk-on opportunities.  Due to NCAA rules I must sit out 1 season as a redshirt and I will have 3 years of eligibility following that. I bring college experience and maturity to the table and am willing to do whatever is asked of me to contribute.

**CLICK MY HUDL LINK FOR MY FULL HIGHLIGHTS** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.hudl.com/athlete/519704/ My dream has always been to play college football. I have played football since I was 7 years old. Most people don't know that I was born with a birth defect called club foot. After successful reconstructive surgery as an infant, my parents were told that I could never play football. Now I am a 3 time letter winner, Academic All-State and 3 time Academic All-Conference recipient at the #4 team in the nation. I play in the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference which has been named the toughest conference in the country. I play with and against numerous D1 players every week so I know how it is to play in big games and against the best competition. We have always been a run heavy offense so I make the most of my opportunities and take pride in my ability to block. Often I am compared to Wes Welker and that's the type of player you'll get out of me.  I'm not the biggest or fastest guy on the field, but I've overcome more than anyone and play with the most heart.
