Personal Statement
My goal is to play football at the collegiate level while pursuing my education. I do not have a preference in the size of school or location, but balancing out getting a quality education while doing what I love and that is playing football. Last year I attended a skills camp at the Dermontti Dawson football camp at Robert Morris University. I was chosen for the Dermontti Dawson Gridiron Elite for 2013 and also got outstanding defensive lineman. I am always out to improve and become a better player. In my Sophomore year I was a Varsity starter and played Defensive Tackle. My junior year I was a starter and have played Defensive tackle, Defensive end and Tight end. Having a season of 5 -5 . Going into my senior year I am be taking honors courses and striving to further my education and continue to improve in everyway.
This past summer I attended a few camps the first being at FBU in Northern Virginia and I was coached by former NFL Coach Ted Cottrell and William Fuller formerly of the Eagles. Going further in depth with learning new skills I was chosen to attend the FBU Top Gun camp which was even more extensive with skills. Learning much and starting out my Senior year season to helping lead our team to another successful season we ended our season at 6-4. We had an excellent team and our Defensive line was very strong this year. In turn I made All Region Team 1 and also received outstanding defensive lineman of the year award. In 74 plays I had 66 tackles, 59 solo, 3 sacks, and 7 assists for my 2014 season with North East High School. I have also been invited to play in the Marcus Dixon McInerney All American Bowl which I will be playing in at Myrtle Beach, SC on January 3, 2015.
