2014 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I started playing football in 3rd grade and have always been a lineman playing on both sides of the ball. Grand Ledge is a Division 1 High School. I am a 3 year varsity starter, having played on both sides of the ball. My primary starting position last season (2014) and this season (2015) was defensive tackle/nose guard. Prior to that I was primarily on the OL as guard or center. In 2014 I recieved that NUC Award for best lineman.
The 2015 season went great. We went 12-1 and were the Confernce, District and Regional Champions. Sadly we suffered our only loss at the State semi-finals playoff game to the team that won the State Title! I was a main contributor on our defensive line and got double and triple teamed every game. In 2014 and 2015 I was unanimously awarded All-Conference Team Defensive Tackle. I also received All-League Honorable Mention DT. In 2015 I made it to the 92.1 Prep Rally All Area Team for DT. I also was a D-Zone Finalist for the 2015 All-Michigan Team.
I am an accomplished multi-sport athlete. During the off season I am the varsity heavy A weight wrestler and team captain for the Grand Ledge Wrestling Team. I am an All-State Wrestler and currently power ranked in the top 5 Heavy weights from all divisions In the state. I have accomplished significant goals:
- 2015 & 2016 CAAC Blue Conference Heavy Weight Champion;
- 2015 & 2016 MHSSA Division 1 District Heavy Weight Champion;
- 2015 & 2016 MHSSA D1 Regional Heavy Weight Champion;
- 2015 & 2016 2x MHSSA - ALL-STATE - D1 Heavy Weight
- Regional Dream Team - 1st Team
- 2016 CAAC Blue Heavy Weight Champion;
- 2104 Regional Qualifier;
I will bring the same tenacity and team dedication to the football field as I do the wrestling mat!
I know how to balance athletics and still excel academically while participating in other extracurricular activities as follows:
- Honor Roll (2012-2015);
- National Honor Society (3.82 GPA);
- Academic All-Conference Award in Football and Wrestling (2012-2016);
- Earned and Awarded Eagle Scout;
- Member of DECA
I want to attend a great academic institution and I am ready to take it too the next level and appreciate your consideration!
