Skyler Mendonca '16 Recruiting Profile

I have played football in the Northern Nevada region since I was 7 years old. My goal has been the same throughout all of my years playing. I would love to help and be a part of any collegiate team and represent my hometown the best way possible. I plan on being something in life and it all starts on the football field. I am a natural leader on and off the field. I was named the Team Captain for my senior year. I put everything I have into Family, School, and Athletics, specifically football. I also am a top lacrosse player in the northern region of Nevada. Football is the sport that I perform best in. There is no category in the stats for power cleans, so I will add it here, my PR for cleans currently is 285. I'm not the biggest recruit but I balance that out with my strength and skill and general football IQ. I am a very explosive and aggressive player. I took a year off do to the loss of my father and death of my uncle. I realize that makes things a lot harder and that it will definitely slow down my process and everything else. I would like to grey-shirt or red-shirt for this year just so I can develop my skills and strengths some more.  But I need football and I will do whatever it takes in order to prove I can make a team. Thank you and I plan on talking with some of you coaches soon.
