Alexander Filacouris '17 Recruiting Profile

It is my goal to receive a quality education from an institution that will challenge me academically while at the same time give me an opportunity to play the sport that I have a passion for.  My passion, my drive and my determination is to always do my best at anything I do.  There is no substitute for hard work and this motivates me to always give my best effort in the classroom and on the football field.  Great effort and preparation equals confidence and no regrets.  This approach has allowed me to excel both academically and athletically.  "Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence".
