Garek Hurd '18 Recruiting Profile

    I am a self-motivated student-athlete.  I have finished my junior year of football, while being dual enrolled at Roland-Story High school, as well as attending college classes at the local community college.  Throughout my first two years of high school I have been able to maintain a 3.7 grade point average while participating in football, track and winter strength training.

      My drive and determination that pushes me in the classroom, also pushes me on the field.  Football, by far, is my favorite sport, however I have enjoyed track and lifting.  I currently play defensive end and offensive guard.  I am 6'1" and weigh 230 lbs. Through hard work in the weight room and agility training, I have greatly increased my strength and performance.  I have been involved in organized football since I was in 7th grade.  I have been a starter since my first game.  I am a team player.  When I'm on the field, I believe that the other ten players are my family.  There isn't anything I wouldn't do for them.  I also have developed a very strong bond with my teammates. My dream has always been to play college football.  Right now, I am interested in studying Business. 

I have devoted myself to becoming a better person and athlete on and off the field. I have attended many different camps, a few specifically for my position as a linemen. These have taught me the level and intensity I need to play at for every single one of my games, to succeeded at the college level!
