Personal Statement
My name is Craig Wilkie, and I am a junior at South Granville High School, Creedmoor, North Carolina. I have been playing football since I was 8 years old. I have had the same dream as every 7 and 8 year old playing football for their first time, to play in the NFL. As I have gotten older, I have realized how extremely hard it is to make it to the NFL. I know I must take it one season at a time, and that is what I am doing. I work as hard as I can in every off-season to try and get bigger, faster, and stronger every day. I still have one year of high school left, and I will make the most of it on the field and in the classroom. I am motivated to try just as hard in my school work as i do playing football. I also look foward to playing both sides of the ball this year. I understand that if I don't perform in the classroom, I have very little chance to play in college.
