Clinton Gross '16 Recruiting Profile

Playing football since third grade has made me fall in love with the sport, and made me realize that I want to play at the collegiate level.  I have been on the district champion team since 2013. In 2015, we made it to the third round and were regional runner ups. I have been a very versatile player, my Freshman year I started as middle linebacker for Heath High School varsity and I also started right tackle.  My sophomore and junior years I played almost every offensive and defensive line position including nose guard.  I work hard every day not only in the weight room and on the field, but also in the classroom. I have maintained a high GPA throughout high school. My passion and desire for the game have led me to football camps at the University of Notre Dame, Murray State University, Football University (where I was nominated for Top Gun), University of Louisville, Wester Kentucky University, and University of Kentucky.  

In addition to putting out hard work on the field, I also enjoy volunteering at my high school's football camp for little league and middle school players in McCracken County. I have always been a leader on and off the field, being a leader has given me the opportunity to be a part of the 2014 Paducah Chamber of Commerce Youth L.E.A.D. Program.  In October 2015, I received a $500 Chick-fil-A Schlorship. My determination for playing at the next level and the willingness to do anything I can to get there is what sets me apart from other recruits.
