Eric Anderson II '12 Recruiting Profile

I’m currently a sophomore enrolled at Ursinus College, in Collegeville, PA; majoring in political sociology, with my focus to be an FBI Agent.  PA .   Where I play safety, cornerback, and numerous positions on special teams.   I had a great sophomore season were I’ve received “Player Of The Week” recognition on numerous occasions for my outstanding play on defense and special teams.   I have a tremendous work ethic and desire for the game. I am easily coachable and very disciplined on and off the field. I am looking for a school where football is a big part of the community, i.e. a college town environment. A school with an outstanding Law Enforcement program and a commitment to academic excellence, that also offers a diverse world of intellectual, cultural, social, and creative pursuits. I’m looking for a place where I can have an equal opportunity to compete at a high level and contribute positively to a team as well as an academic institution.

Playing college football has taught me discipline, responsibility, determination and dedication. I have been told I am overly competitive and very aggressive when it comes to athletics. Competition is what drives me to work harder than my competitors, and to be the best possible athlete and teammate. I am my own worst critic, and being judgmental about my play, whether it be watching film, and identifying where I can do better on an assignment, to scouting the other team for a weakness that can give my team an advantage on the field, is what separates me from my counterparts. Out of high school, I was team captain of both the football and track team. I played numerous positions, Cornerback, Strong/Free Safety, Running Back (HB), Slot Receiver, Quarterback, as well as Kick/Punt returner. I was a tried and true leader both on and off the field, taking part in a multitude of off the field events for the benefit of my community.

In high school I took honor classes and was a member of the National Honors Society, graduating with a 3.42 GPA. I am driven to be the best football player I can be, always reaching beyond my expectations athletically as well as academically. I am looking for a college to transfer too with a team and coaching staff that will push me to be my limit and help be become the best student athlete possible. I wish to compete at a higher level, but being able to play the game is a true blessing for me.
