Dillon Smith '15 Recruiting Profile

God allows adversity into our lives not to break us but to better us.  I was injured during the summer before my Junior year requiring surgery to my shoulder therefore I am late to the recruiting game. I thought surgery would weaken me and I would never be the same.  Knowing I was out of football for even a short while, I was crushed.  I've played since I was 6, it was the only sport I ever truly loved.  I worked hard, I came back stronger, faster and tougher than I had ever been with more understanding of myself and my abilities. I returned as a starter both offensively and defensively and celebrated with my teammates when we won the State Championship and were ranked #2 Nationally.  I do not give up.  I fight until the very end both athletically and academically.  I am a leader who believes I have the ability to grow from every circumstance.  I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to fulfill the dream of playing at the college level.  Frequent highlights updated here:  http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1715881/dillon-smith
