Personal Statement
I am a 6'2" 285lbs junior in the class of 2018 at Lincoln High School in Des Moines, IA. My primary position is Offensive line but also started on Defensive line the past two years but I am open to play any other position I am needed at. I currently have a 4.15 GPA and am number 5 out of 548 in my class. I squat 460lbs bench 275lbs and clean 295lbs. I would prefer to play at the division 1-A or 1-AA level but am open to being sold on other options. My current goals for the off season are to gain as much mass as I can while improving speed and functionability of my size. The number one trait I am looking for in a Football program that is the right fit for me is a great team atmosphere.
The biggest trait I feel I have to offer a football team is adaptability. I have played during multiple changes of coaching staff at my high school which has given me the opportunity to play every position on the offensive line as well as defensive tackle during my last 3 years of high school football. I have made various achievements through out my high school career on and off the field. I am a 3x varsity letter winner and starter, 3x academic all-district player, 2014 honorable mention all-district, 2015 1st team all-district, and 2016 2nd team all-district. I was also a captain during the 2016 season and am a NHS member, an Eagle Scout, and the 2016-2017 Vice President of my local FFA Chapter. I would like to focus on schools that have a Environmental Science or Agricultural programs.
