Personal Statement
My name is Marco DelVecchio, I am 18 years old, and I am a member of the class of 2014 at Tabor Academy in Marion, Massachucetts. I am 6 ft, 195 lbs, and my primary position is strong safety. I run a 4.51 forty yard dash, a 4.07 pro-agility shuttle, and my vertical jump is 34.1 inches. I currently have a 3.5 unweighted GPA, and I am also currently taking all honor level courses. I received First Team All-Division, First Team All-State, and All-League Academic as a Senior. In addition, I am a member of the 2013 U19 USA National Team and also I am an 2012 NUC-All-American. My goal is to move out of Rhode Island and make a name for myself, whether that is in athletics or academics. I have always wanted to make my family and friends proud, and I believe football has given that opportunity to me. My desired areas of academics regarding majors are Pre-Law, International Business, and Sports Medicine. My ideal school would have a range of students from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures, a prestigious reputation for academic and athletic excellence, and also a family-like atmosphere surrounded by the city life. My most important characteristics that I can contribute to a team are Determination, Resiliency, Hardworking, and most importantly, Self-Discipline. I have always dreamed and pictured myself under the big lights playing at the highest level in the country, wanting to make the big play, or the big hit, or what ever brings my team the most success. My number ONE goal is to play at the highest competition there is with my athletic and academic abilities.
