I love football with a sincere passion. I want to play college football and create a legacy there. I will bring my work ethic, leadership, dedication, and ambition to the college I decide to attend. I am full of ambition I am always chasing my goals and dreams. I never stop working no matter what; there are no days off for me. My current GPA is a 3.25 and I am on at least the B honor role each year. I am involved in many things such as Student Council, Prom Committee, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and National Honor Society. I am open to any type of criticism that will make me a better person or athlete. I won the All-Conference 1st Team award 3 times! I also won All-Conference 1st Team Academically, Offensive MVP, and Iron Man (3 times). Not to mention, I won the Spencer Thomas Stokke Award (Most Dedicated).
As a sophomore I already broke the single season rushing and all-purpose yards record at our school! This year (senior) I broke the career rushing and touchdown record. I am hungry to break many more not only in our school but state. As a junior I rushed for 829 yards and 11 TDs and as a sophomore I rushed for 1192 yards and 14 TDS. As a senior I rushed for 487 yards and 12 TDS (due to the fact we beat every team by so much my stat line was down, starters didn't play in the second half). In my career I have rushed for 2,509 yards and 37 touchdowns. I will never ever stop working towards my dream of being in the NFL, but first I need to complete my goal; which is to play college football.. "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard."
COACH ENDORSEMENTS:
Ryan Steele, Assistant Varsity Football Coach / Teacher, Lewiston-Altura High School
Athletic ability: 9/10
Leadership: 8/10
Team player: 9/10
Easy to work with: 10/10
Ability: "Brady is a very hard working, driven and goal oriented individual. In the weight room he consistently is breaking goals that he has set for himself. He pushes himself, never missing a session in and out of season. On the field Brady has very good vision for a RB, he has a shifty way about himself. He has a way to give a dead leg and make defenders miss and make his way into open field. He plays in a Wing-T system, having rushed for 1800 yards the past two seasons. We do not feature one back as we distribute carries between six backs. He accepts his role very well and does not get frustrated. If a team focuses on taking him away and our trap game is rolling he is the first one there to encourage our FB. This off-season Brady is working hard on his speed, agility,form running as well as his hands. He is not shy about asking coaches what he can do to improve in the sports that he participates in. (Football, Basketball, Track). We certainly are looking to him as a leader going into his senior season. We have 21 seniors that vary greatly in personalities. He is taking the lead to communicate with all players in our program."
Personality: "Brady is a rather soft spoken kid that is focused on his studies and life beyond High School. This path includes college and the desire to play college football at a high level. He is the type of student that does not shy away from leadership opportunities. Brady is a "Big" in our schools Big Brothers and Sisters Program, a member of the National Honor Society, and volunteers whenever asked. The hard work, driven and goal oriented individual that I mentioned relating to his athletic ability holds true for Brady with his academics. He is the type of student athlete that will not give college programs troubles with academics, social media, with teammates and times outside of football and school. Ask him and he will respond. "
