Tanner Smith '17 Recruiting Profile

I aspire to maintain my composure, both in the classroom, as well as on the football field.  I am a very determined person.  I am constantly pushing myself as well as my teammates to achieve more both on and off the field, and I believe that this is a character trait that sets me apart from many other athletes.  I have worked hard to maintain a 3.3 GPA while attending two and a half hour practices four nights a week.  I plan on improving myself by grasping every opportunity I can like going to camps, getting in the weight room, doing what I need to do to become a better athlete in general; but also more specifically to become a better football player overall.  As a leader on the field I do what I can do to get the best performance I can get out of my teammates, but also try to get them to improve and keep the intensity high during practices and during game time when it is most needed.   A good leader is recognized when they are put in tough situations and show and prove that they can still be a leader.  I can bring that on and off the field as a teammate and also as a leader
