Shawn Rouse '15 Recruiting Profile

I have played football for 10 years and my passion for the game gets stronger every year.  I am a 3-year varsity starter on both sides of the ball.  During those years, I have played all positions on the offensive and defensive lines.  I have been scholar-athlete of the year for my team the past 3 seasons.  I also have been the lineman of the year the past 2 seasons.  This year I was named a team captain and the most valuable player.  My sophomore year, I was named All-District 1st team, honorable mention Metro conference, and honorable mention all-state.  Following my junior year, I was named to the All-District 1st team, 2nd team Metro conference, and honorable mention all-state.  This year I have again been named to the All-District 1st team.  Conference and all-state awards have not yet been announced this year.

Not only do I excel on the football field, but I also excel in the classroom.  I am currently ranked #1 in my class of 275 students.  I have taken many honors and AP classes.  I scored a 25 on my most recent ACT exam and will be taking it again in December. 

I have strong leadership skills as I am involved in many school activities, including student council, senior senate, National Honor Society, and was voted senior class vice-president.  I participate in varsity basketball, and have previously participated in varsity baseball and band.

I want to play college football for a team that will continue to develop my football skills.  I want to use my leadership skills to benefit the team.  Most importantly, I want to make a significant contribution to the team, both on the field and off the field, while ultimately earning my degree in engineering.
