Nathan Shaffer '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Nathan Shaffer. My goal is to further my education at college to pursue a Bachelor’s Finance and play collage football after high school graduation. I am a 3 sport varsity athlete (Football, Track & Wrestling). I have played football since first grade. While in High School I have played running back, tight end, middle linebacker, outside linebacker,  guard, punt team, kickoff team, field goal and extra point team and where ever else I am needed. I practice hard as a starter and on scout team. I help by teaching what I know and ask questions about what I don't know on the field and in the weight room. Every day I strive to get better and to help my team get better. I think I would fit into most athletic programs, be able to contribute early and be an impact player for a couple of years.

I am also on the track team. I ran the 100M, 200M, 400M and lettered my Freshman year, was on the honor roll and received a scholar athlete award. I ran 110 Hurdles in Track and qualified for my 2nd year letter. I am currently throwing shot and disc in my Junior year. I lettered in football my Sophomore and Junior years, was on the honor roll and received a scholar athlete award both years. 

I have played violin in the orchestra since fifth grade.  I know that I will strive to excel in the classroom as much as I do on the field and plan to enjoy as much of college and campus life as I can fit into the remainder of my time. Thank you for spending the time to read my personal statement.
