Personal Statement
I am member of the Class of 2017 at Hickory Ridge High School in Harrisburg, North Carolina. I transferred to Hickory Ridge after my sophomore year and became the starting outside linebacker and a member of all the special team units. Academically, I have been taking honors-level courses since my freshman year and have worked very hard to maintain a high GPA.
Since my father is a football coach, I have been around the game for as long as I can remember. I was drawn to the game and started playing at the age of seven and have been a starter on each team I have been a member of. Over the last decade, I have learned much about the game and have grown to love everything about it. I have dedicated myself to becoming the best player/athlete I can be. Through the process of developing my body and improving my skills, I have discovered what I want to pursue as a profession. My hope is to find a school that will provide me with the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career. One of the most important things for me is to find a school that I can call home for the next four years.
